Finally a return phone call from the previous District Attorney....(excuses, excuses)

I finally receive a phone call back from the previous District Attorney, Mr. Gardner (day before court...nice)...another lesson here..don't rely on any of them to provide any type of information to you.  Even if you are 1 out of say 3 victims that continuously call about your case....and the HUNDREDS that never call or show up.. YOU still have to educate each person on your case because you are just paper to them.

I expressed my displeasure about the new D.A Mr. Carr and informed Mr. Gardner that he made me feel as if he could careless. He gave me bullshit responses and I was really upset.  I asked about Mr. Carr and told Mr. Gardner that I didn't appreciate his attitude.

Mr. Gardner told me (here goes the excuse for his behavior) that Mr. Carr was taken off a triple homicide and was given the domestic violence cases so maybe he is upset with that. (and that is my problem how?) The only response that I could come up with was...ARE YOU KIDDING ME! Mr. Gardner, how many victims follow their case for 2 years.  How many victims have gone to every court hearing and address the court. HOW MANY! I don't care about Mr. Carr's cases or what he did previously. He still has a job to do and the defendant needs to be sent to prison, PERIOD! Mr. Gardner apologized for Mr. Carr's behavior and said he would go downstairs and speak with him.

Mr. Gardner said that if the judge is too busy I might not be able to speak, it's all up to the judge. RIGHT, ARE YOU KIDDING ME. It's my right as a tax payer and citizen to speak. OMG!  Sometimes I feel as if they want me to just shut up and let them push the paper around to they can make the daily numbers that they need. I'm not a number, I'm not a piece of paper, I'm not a folder, and I am not going to shut up and take the bull crap!! I will continue to stand up for myself and I will continue to address the court...so WHEN the defendants name is called you CAN BET YOUR BATOOTY THAT I WILL BE STANDING AT THE PODIUM WAITING FOR THE JUDGE TO ASK WHY I AM STANDING THERE. I HAVE RIGHTS TOO!!!!!!!!!!!! GOT IT!!!!!!

It's getting late... I better pack my bag so I can head to San Jose...UGH! No wonder my stomach is so upset!
