My Day in Court

Tomorrow it is, my first day with a subpoena. I have to report to the judge about the first youthful offender on my caseload who is sending himself back in. It's a violation on a felony conviction so he is looking at spending some prison time. I have mixed feelings about this kid (I will be 30 this year so I can say that). In the time I have been around he has fooled the judge into believing he is finally going to fulfill his court ordered substance abuse treatment, lied to me about taking GED classes and smoked up a few hundred times. Pretty much open and shut. Still frustrating. He is graduating into the adult criminal world. Not a place he will likely leave.

I better go find something presentable to wear and I am falling asleep writing this. Wow, I am an exciting blogger.

I will give you an update soon. And will let you know if I decide to let the training officers spray me with pepper spray next week. Maybe that will hold your attention.
