It's Almost Over..it IS over #32

[K9karen]

Thanks, all for your good wishes.
Sorry it's taken me a day to update you. I was so distraught and p.o'd yesterday that I could barely see straight.
That's not to say all won't go well for me..it'll take 10-14 days for the judge to make a decision on the loss of income and pain and suffering parts.

Of course the defendant's lawyer (fyi.. he didn't show) was brutal and as nasty as she always is. They dug up medical records from ages ago since I have a lifetime of spine problems. The vocational expert described, what she thought was my job description (her "research") and it was not a complete synopsis of my description, which I explained. Blah, blah blah.

The good part is that the judge ignored her objections most of the time which made her angrier.

The cops, a client (who came in from Baltimore on my behalf) did great. My brother, instead of taking my suggestion, since he is shy and hates being questioned, ruined everything with stupidity and the defendant's lawyer wanted to squash all his testimony. Bottom line is that I'm considered "damaged goods" anyway.

My counsel seems to think it all went really well. We shall see. My frustration involves the fact that each lawyer had a closing and I'm not allowed to do MY closing! I know that facet doesn't exist, and that's not fair. I protest. I wasn't allowed to make a comment unless I was asked a question.

Anyway, more prayers, please. I'm so annoyed. The only time I reacted to anything was when my character, John's and my brother's were questioned. *Sigh* I hope justice prevails. I didn't crawl under a fence and bite his dog's paw off.
Thanks for listening to my vent.. Very unlike me but I'm out of control and festering all day.

You and the judges will be in our prayers. Let justice prevail, please God.

Sounds like you did very well, Karen. It also sounds like the mediator has a good head on his shoulders and will rule in your favor.

You've been in my thoughts and prayers, sweetheart. Keep us posted and take care of yourself!!!

It must have been so very hard to stifle yourself. I would have been so po'd to hear them say that I was damaged goods
I hope the judge sees things your way and you get a good settlement.

I'll be thinking about you. (((HUGS)))

Sounds like you had a lot go your way in court - a good sign!

Let's hope & Pray that the Judge can analyze the evidence
and reach a very fair (biased to You ) decision.
