I understand, and I will try to clarify. Maybe you can help me. BTW, thanks to both for getting back so fast.
3 years after this trial, we finally saw a lawyer (friend of my Moms unfortunately, but a real lawyer who was led, by her, into a misapprehension about me. She called him for herself, not me.) During the years before, I was battling the Bodily Harm "version" of this charge best I could. This was to ignorant ears though, known to my sister and I as absolutely deplorable parents. I was being naive thinking my parents would really help me...
My original "conviction" of "Domestic Violence with Bodily Harm" was changed to "Domestic Violence with Insulting\Provoking Contact." (720 ILCS 5/12-3.2; part 1 to part 2) This was after I called the lawyer, who insisted I was convicted of the "provoking" version, and asked him why does the judicial database say "Bodily Harm?" Why did some background checks say "Bodily Harm?" I was even denied a condo, and saw one other cheap rookie lawyer, all under the pretense that I committed Bodily Harm. I was even rejected by the DA. My lawyer looked at the database and responded..."You know what? You're right." 3 days later it was changed in the system. I have multiple forms of notarized proof from him, as well as before and after screenshots I took showing the change.
My lawyer told me that this was a typographical error ("a 2 where a 1 should have been") and that nobody can be held accountable for this. I assume he is correct because its the same charge, just a different "version." I question this, because I have experienced losses that I wouldn't wish on anybody.
I'm not stupid overall, just stupid with the law. I didn't know what I was getting into, nobody did.
If something can be done about this, you have my undivided attention.
Well thanks everyone. Let me give you a tip. If your parents ever call the police on you after decades of trusting them, defend yourself dont be naive as I was. Else you will lose your entire life. Like I am. 5 years is enough of this.
that is DONT defend yourself. Peace everyone.
