Agg Assault charge

[Guilty Or Not Guilty]

Zedex, I can understand how you feel. Not the same, but similiar incidents happened with me also. The major problem I am looking at in your situation is it happened 3 years ago.

I'm going to put down in order how I tried taking care of my situation:

1. Ask the police department for a complaint form against the officers. Make it out carefully.
2. Write a letter to the chief of police.
3. Go to the city council meeting and bring it up in public.
4. Write a letter to the Attorney General of your state.
5. Speak with a FBI agent.
6. Contact legal aid services in your area and find out if there is a state attorney phone number which will find you an attorney over the phone after describing what happened. That is how I found an attorney who would take care of the incident. The only problem is I could not afford her.
7. Contact the news media.
I really contacted more people (ATF, US Customs, etc.) but it will not be related to your case.

See if there is an organization in you county that is against "crooked officers." It makes it stronger when you have people with you.

Always keep copies of whatever you send out.

If you can get an appeal on the court case, go for it and try to have the suspects pay you restitition.

If you think a judge is wrong report it to: http://www.ancpr.org/judicial.htm

Remember, I know how a cop feels. I used to be an auxilary/reserve police officer.

I did all that you listed. Filed a complaint against the police, and they did their investigation, which, of course, we already knew this would have little impact.
Went to county meeting, but they censor what is being brought up by having you explain before hand, what you want to discuss. When I told them, they said that cannot be brought up as it has nothing to do with county commissioners and is a criminal problem.
The FBI would not get involved as it was handled by local police.
The only newspaper will not say anything bad about the police.
Legal aid is hard to get and they don't handle cases like this.

The biggest thing here is that it is a small town and everyone knows everyone.

I need an attorney from that isn't there. I tried Savannah and Atlanta but it is a long way to travel from either place.

My time is running short now. I was told by the county attorney that I have one year to file notice of intent to sue from the day of incident. I did that, but now the three year limit is coming quick.

You might also seek a restraining order against the suspect(s) if you can.

The day of the incident, we going to get the restraining order. We had already asked for one before this and had two weeks wait for a hearing to show the judge this was in order.

After the incident, one was granted, without hearing, and it still did no good. Less than two weeks later, he tried to hit us head on with his truck, cutting across four lanes of traffic. Again, he was not charged with anything because a cop did not see it. Nevermind that his stupid move caused alot of traffic problems.
