I am ready to cuss, and I'm sure that Micah is cussin. I talked with him today about the update hearing that did not happen and he did not know what had come of it. After he called I called Jesse and told him to go visit and he headed over. Good thing to because Micah is going to be mad when he hears the news we got today.
Apparently the shooter did not get offered a plea and now is working on his trial hearing. To make a long story short and very ugly he will be spending another seven to ten months in county! That is sooo messed up.
Now you tell me of another place on the planet where this picture would make any sense. The two boys who did not shoot someone are sitting in County, not furthering their education, not taking any classes, not working, not able to visit face to face with family and friends. The one who did the shooting and started the whole mess is with his family, working a 9-5 and doing whatever he pleases. The whole consolation? We just kept getting told, "well he is doing his time and this counts toward his time". That is bull.
Anybody who has any experience at all knows the differences between county and prison. In prison he can actually have a job, he can attend classes for his GED and take it, he can even go on and take college classes. Do you know it has been two years since I have been able to hug or touch my boy? In prison we can actually have a 30 second hug at the beginning and end of the visit and actually talk face to face. Another 7-10 months, that is friggin messed up.
