For those of you who have been around since the beginning of my blog, you know we were robbed in November. I found most of our stuff at the pawnshops, thus finding out that it was the kid that Matt took to school everyday. Well, he went before the judge yesterday. He plead guilty to the robbery (not sure if it was still a felony or if it was dropped to a misdemeanor), but because this was his first offence, they were recommending probation BUT for him to receive probation, he had to bring a down payment on the $1100 he owes us for damages and missing items. So, he showed up with $600 yesterday!!!!! So, for him to be able to get off probation, he must pay off the rest of the money.
Unfortunately, our justice system really sucks for the victims!!! We could not send him to jail and ask for restitution, too---it would infringe upon his rights!!! This is were our society is screwed up!! I believe that the second he broke my window and walked into my house, he lost his rights to anything!!!! He should be sitting his butt in jail and he should have to pay me back. If it were up to me, I would have him drawn and quartered!!!
Anyway, there is a light at the end of this tunnel and I'm grateful that no one was home when it happend. The things we lost were only things and can and were replaced. So, I guess, this has a good ending.
Toodles,
Chelley
