It would seem that your intent is to tell me I'm being dishonest about my situation. What would I gain by such an action? I am a state away staying at a friends and the stay is a limited one. I am sure your imagination had the capacity to have come up with that without me needing to explain it though. If you can provide useful information, which is ultimately why I and everyone else has joined this site, than great..I would love to hear it and would thank you for being of value to me. If you only want to discredit me and try to make me out to be a fool than that speaks of how you like to use your time and quite frankly, aren't worth the keyboard you type with to me. Which one is it Mercy&Grace?
The Judge is not going to let you get off scott free. You should have thought about all of these things before you committed domestic violence.
Do you have a court appointed attorney ?
I'm speaking to people that should be giving advice..not someone in control of selecting the punishment I should receive.
Context. Context. Context.
I don't think that was a serious question.. more of a rhetorical one to try to make me realize it's important to be courteous to the judge. I know that. If it was a serious question than you and those like you are the reason they put the warnings on silica packets saying not to eat them. Hope I didn't offend you by the lack of a filter I have for internet forums.
Yes..Much to my dismay - I have a public defender. You are right I shouldn't have and certainly wish I didn't get myself in this mess.
You are going to get advice here based on legal reality. Legal reality is that one way or another you are going to have to obey the orders of the court or deal with the consequences for not doing so.
You will need to determine from the court whether they will accept your enrollment in a local domestic violence program as an alternative to the one that is preferred by the court. Then you will need to find a way to attend and complete that program.
If you want the charges to be dropped, you will find a way to do what the court ordered. If you prefer to have a criminal record and potentially spend some time behind bars, you can decline the opportunity.Quoting policestateofmind
You accepted the deferral. If you choose to violate the terms of the deferral, you'll get an opportunity to speak in court -- to enter a plea, and have your case scheduled for trial, plea hearing or sentencing.Quoting policestateofmind
Well, then: Talk to your lawyer.
How were you ordered to complete a domestic violence program at arraignment? Once you were ordered to completed it, who is supposed to be monitoring your compliance with the judge's order? When you agreed to the terms of the order, were you then sentenced to probation?
No that was a pretty legit question - you say you have nowhere to stay, no food, that you're basically destitute yet you have Internet access. Legit question to ask how you get on the Internet or other things but you can't get to court.
If you want the charges dropped you better figure it out. Where there's a will, there's a way.
