As a police officer, you may not always tour the city in a radio car. There are days when you have to defend your work. It is called court.
Today was a preliminary hearing on a case where the victim can not speak for herself. She has been reduced to someone who can not comprehend the complexities of life.
The individual who changed her life, is wanting to fight his possible jail time. He has hired an attorney who is wanting to attack the actions of the officers. You see, there is nothing else he can do, except to attack the work.
Based on a pre hearing conference, we were of the opinion that the attorney would be attacking every officer on the stand. Since we were sequestered, I have no idea what happened while other officers testified, but he did not raise any flags or objections on my testimony. Now his stipulation was merely for the preliminary hearing only, so if bound over for trial, we will tesitify again.
All I can say is there were three (3) people on the road that night. One was a witness, one came very close to death, and one who was not injured and has not accepted responsibility for his actions.........imagine.....
