Sentencing date.........

I make the trip to San Jose for the sentencing...

I don't think the public defender expected to see me again...as soon as he walked in the District Attorney informed the judge that a victim was present so they wanted to call the case of Benny H. Jr...immediately the public defender starting talking to the District Attorney...I saw the District Attorney shake his head and then they asked if they could approach the bench.  The public defender, District attorney, and probation department all approached the bench and were talking for around 5 minutes..the judge acknowledged me and asked if I wanted to speak...I figured the public defender would continue the case so I read a brief victim statement, thinking I will save the best for next time...I was right! When I was done reading the judge informed me that they were going to continue in the middle of May and asked me what day should we have it....she threw out 2 days and I choose one.  They put it on the books and we will return next month...

You better believe that I will be ready with a very strong victim statement...I'm also in constant contact with the DA and probation department....I AM NOT THE VICTIM...I'M THE VICTOR!!  I'm FREE!!
