The report from "mental health" is still not ready -- and get this (smile) ... they have been "unable to interview defendant." Well now, let's see ... you have only had him in your custody for over a year. I have an idea, if you are truly interested in justice, interview my son -- he will tell you that he never told the officer that he was socked, punched, kicked, etc. Nor did he tell him that we lived in the studio and one of the two beds in the apartment belonged to him ... I am actually sitting on Ty's bed right now typing this update. Of course there is no need to interview me ... after all, I am just an "unfit" mother. Or perhaps you may want to interview the doctor that examined my son after being "punched repeatedly and kicked" -- according to his report, my son was slapped. Also missing from his medical evaluation, is the physical evidence to support the officers version of events.
Well, the report should be ready by December 4th because the "court has contacted Mental Health to inform them of the next court date" ... tune in later!
[UPDATE: December 4, 2006]
One down ... one to go! Looks like the "criminal" case is over. The defendant has officially, and once again, been declared "incompetent to stand trial." He is to be committed to the State Hospital "on count(s) 1 not to exceed 3 years and 0 months."
He has his daddy's expensive PRIVATE attorney to thank for this "unofficial" sentence ... which, by the way, took place without a trial. BUT WAIT ... That's right ... he's "incompetent" to stand trial.
In the city that I grew up in there was a popular expression, which this case forces me to recall ... "Money talks ... and B.S. walks!" Without his daddy's expensive attorney, which his church parishioners more than likely paid for, this case would have been over a LONG time ago. Considering his criminal history, the DA's office would have simply struck him out (California is a three-strikes state) and sent him packing right back to the big house -- No Questions Asked.
Well, now that the District Attorney's office has done "their job" ... the ball is now back in the juvenile "justice" court; Let's see what happens over there. Check back in March.
What a fine display of American Justice!
If you believe that foster care should be reserved for children that are orphaned, or have TRULY been abandoned by their parents and ALL extended family members; If you believe that children in foster care should actually be victims of abuse and/or neglect, once proven by a judge and jury NOT a social worker with a God complex; If you believe in the Constitution and civil rights for all, no matter what their economic, social, or cultural group may be – Please sign the petitions referenced at www.squidoo.com/abolishcps/ (scroll down to Get Involved!!!).
