| only option is fighting
Janet Kuypers 5/18/15 I’ve been pacing, mentally racing, I can’t sleep. I’ve been accused. Now, doing something illegal was never a problem, but being arrested by cops with guns for their uniform, well, that makes it hard to clear my head. So I call my lawyer again. “Have you looked at their evidence? Do you have the video?” I called a few times, and a day before trial for my sentencing, the lawyer calls and says, “I’m looking at the video now, and I can’t see any reason why the cop stopped you to arrest you. I think we can fight this.” I’m a bit stunned, I haven’t seen the evidence. “Are you sure? Can you check again?” And he did, ten times total, and he saw no evidence to stop me, then arrest me for committing a crime; there was no justification. That’s when I started to smile. “So is this something we can beat?” And he said “Sure, the next court date will be easy, you won’t say a word, I’ll just file for a motion to quash the arrest and suppress evidence. There was no reason to stop you, so we’ll fight this.” Wow, I’m starting to get my happy face again. Yeah, it means more trial time, but if the cop was in the wrong (wait a minute, can I sue him for all the pain he’s unjustly caused?), if he was wrong, then trust me, sometimes the only option is fighting. Which is exactly what I’ll do. I’m not out yet — they may think they’ve won, but they have no idea how well I can fight. You picked the wrong person to try, because now you’ve made a mortal enemy. I’ll pit you against yourself, trust me, I am a more than worthy adversary. I can still play fair and catch you fumbling over your own mistakes. So... the fight is officially on. And may the true winner prevail. |
