[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 294102, member: 4264"] I admit, though not wanting to pee myself, I had some shivers/ creepy chills initially. But then it clicked in that it was in a COURT and he was sealing his own fate. I had to work to not smile at him smugly, hope that isn't a bad reflection on me! I was just thinking "gotcha". Re: why he isn't locked up. Well legally, he WILL get off on the charges, or at worst, a slap on the wrist come trial. The key is keep him there till trial. He will get off or get a probation term at most, as he is obviously mentally unstable and under law, in his state of unreality, isn't in his right mind to choose to commit crimes. A trial will be at least a year from now. It is hard to keep someone locked up for mental health things against their will for any length of time. You need proof of a long term ongoing threat to others or to the patient. Well todays testimony being documented and recorded ensures a legal basis for him to be held longer term for safety reasons so he recieves long term mental health help. He could end up with a long jail sentence in a criminal psychiatric floor somewhere in a hospital (won't hold my breath but would be nice). But now the ground work is laid to have him locked up one way or anohter for more than a couple days where he could have bailed out. As for waiting till the eviciton is over for his arrest. While the arrest warrant will be sworn at our appointment Sat. morning, his arrest won't happen until the sherrif can enforce the eviction early next week and bolt his property. This helps avoid a sympathetic criminal court judge bailing him out so he can attend to his personal property at his apartment that he is being forced to vacate. We are leaving no avenue to lose this chance to keep him locked somewhere, jail or a hospital. Doesn't matter to me which. Just want NO BAIL!!! Hope that makes a bit more sense now :) I would love our laws changed. But you are right. And even when people die, often NOTHING changes. Its a sad reality. I'll pass along your message to S/O as I'm off to bed now where he's half asleep already :) Nite board! [/QUOTE]
