    Default Victims Advocate with the Prosecutors Office

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Michigan

    We are awaiting trial on a CSC 2nd degree, my child the victim. Recently the accused was told not to attend a sport event that the victim was also attending. The accused attended anyway. There is a PPO on this person, I was told was the condition of the bond in the summer. I never got papers on it. Accused sat not 25 feet away from victim. I called police, but because there was no paper, they weren't going to respond.
    I spoke to the Sheriff regarding another matter (on Sunday) and they verified that PPO is listed in the LEIN system and is the condition of the bond.
    I spoke with the criminal advocate today and this person says "Oh, you never got the condition of the bond?" "I will send it to you". Criminal advocate also gave me some song and dance that it was MY responsibility to get the PPO. Thats not what was told to me at the arraingment, I was told it was part of the bond, it was automatically in place for the victim but if I wanted one for myself and my other child, I would have to do that myself. When I pushed it, was when I got, "oh yes, that WAS part of the bond condition......you didn't get the bond conditions?" No, you said you'd send them to me............still waiting. June, July, August, September........... I wasn't snotty or sarcastic, just in my cyber re-play, I'm feeling a little sarcastic and disgusted.

    The police say I very much have recourse in that I can get witness statements and present them to the prosecutor to have it reviewed possibly by the judge to overturn the bond.

    Have any of you heard of this type of situation before? Not knowing the case personally, can you give me your thoughts on if you think this is bond revoking-worthy?

    Thank you

    That's your call to make. If you think so, do as the police suggested.
