Here We Go Again!!!

[thepianist]

The courtroom was the scene for our family again today. This time the judge granted the defense attorney one - and only one - extension to prepare his case for trial. They even had our case be the last one so that all the other jailbirds would be out of the room....since this dealt with child molestation. Amazing - even criminals don't like a creep that goes after children!

He still sat in the courtroom with that cocky attitude of his! The stress level from this thing is really something else. I had no idea how much it affected me until we got home this afternoon.....I slept for about two hours!

Now on Thursday, November 17, we have pre-trial interviews with this guy's 3rd attorney (which looks like he's going to keep the case). My daughter is quite nervous about it. Like I have told her, if she just answers this man's questions everything will be just fine....who knows after the interviews this attorney might tell his client that he better take whatever kind of offer the DA's office might give him.

Hey My name is Elizabeth Vince and i am just replying to your story and the same thing happen to me, i got molested by my pipeband instructor and i was 16 at the time it was dec 17 2001 i was in his pipeband and in a air cadet pipeband, I joined air cadets in 1998, this intructor was a good guy which i thought he was and me and my sister always had practices with him did parades and everything and it was fun, I mean even my parents fully trusted him and around the end my uncle and a couple of people had a funny feeling about him and i think i was the only person that didn't. I would hug him all the time but i mean i hug everyone and hold his hand and sit on his lap and now that i think about it, it seems to be my fault but i have realized it was not, because on dec 17th he touched me and the stuff that I did I totally didn't think anything of it not in any relationship lkind of way and i mean he is 52 and i was 16 and he was my instructor... but as I look at it now i am like wow... but he did touch me in his car before driving me home like touching my chest and tried to kiss me but i did go to court for this and it was very hard it is not something u take lightly and I did testify and I told the truth and said what happened even though he shook his head the whole time and i was thinking why are u shaking your head i know what happened. I had alot of support with family and friends and even my youth pastor came, I can't really remember his sentence i know he had 12 months probation and i do know he got what he diserved. I had counceling but i am still having trouble and it will be with me for the rest of my life but there is always hope and I love that, God has helped me so much. I know it has been almost 4 years since it happens but now i am learning to help people who have been through the same thing. Hope this helps
