[QUOTE="katya02, post: 205266, member: 2884"] I found out more from difficult child's attorney today (finally reached him by phone). Apparently the 180 day rule is only for people who are incarcerated and waiting for trial; if they're out on bond it's a year. So there's no November deadline as difficult child is on unsecured bond. The attorney didn't oppose the application to continue because he said the judge was going to grant it regardless, and he didn't want to antagonize the guy ahead of time ... he wants to just show up and hopefully suppress the evidence. So I guess difficult child won't be sending any letters for now ... at least the attorney said that if there's a winter storm around the December date, that difficult child won't be penalized if we can't make it across I-80 and the mountains. Thank goodness. On the downside, difficult child has been taken off the Depakote due to constant abdo pain, and started on Geodon ... and within 24 hours of stopping Depakote he got angry during a conversation today and showed no more insight into his situation than he had the day he came home in May. He'd been getting worked up about how badly he felt the police treated him in May, started talking about suing everyone again, and then was angry that now they've got his pictures and prints on file. I think he wants to sue them for that too! Anyway, I told him people get printed etc. when they're arrested, they don't have to be convicted ... and I looked at him and suggested he not be quite so indignant about everything because the fact is he DID have pot and paraphernalia in his dorm. He got furious and went back to the old 'We've already talked this to death! I will NOT go through this again! I am NOT discussing this any more!!!' and stomped out of the room down to his bedroom and slammed the door. He didn't come up for supper and husband had to go get him to take him to his outpatient rehab group this evening. Not an iota of insight despite all these weeks of rehab. Not a dot. I'm shaking my head. I guess the past two weeks were just two weeks of sedated peace, not real progress. [/QUOTE]
