Still in the Hole

No call, means still in the Hole. Micah was really hoping to get out this week, at least that is what the guy told him. Evidently it did not happen today as he had hoped. He is hoping to hear from his attorney tomorrow and we sure to have some good news by then. In the meantime keep the letters coming, he really needs them right now and is about the lowest I have seen him since he went to Coconino County seventeen months ago.

Stll in the Hole

I spoke with Micah yesterday and unfortunately he is still in the hole. Maleah has been praying at night now, "please help Micah get out of that hole." Hard one to explain to a six year old.

In fact it is a hard one for anyone to wrap their mind around if they have not experienced it for themselves. Hopefully Micah will be out of the hole this week and be able to get settled in somewhere before the holidays.

Our family will be sending Micah a letter a day for the next week so that he can receive one a day until Christmas. We did it last year with cards, but he did not get all of them. This year we will try the letters and hope that he gets them all.

Micah is asking for letters from everyone. He is not allowed to watch t.v. and is pretty bored with nobody to talk to. Letter time everyone!!!

In The Hole

Poor Micah, in the Hole again! I think that Micah may hold the record for the most time spent in Coconino County, and maybe even the record for the most time in the hole. The biggest problem is that people tend to think because he is just a kid they can just attack him, with a screw no less.

His celly came after him with a screw, which the guy has a few loose already anyway, and Micah was defending himself. What the heck? As Micah pointed out, in jail you cannot just walk away, there is no place to walk. If someone attacks you you have no choice but to let him beat you to a pulp, or defend yourself.

There will be a hearing on Wednesday to determine whose fault the fight was. There was one witness so Micah is planning on being out of the hole on Wed. The bad news is if he is found guilty he will be there 30 days, which will be until Dec. 26th. And the really bad news? This time in the hole he is not allowed anything. No writing stuff, no reading material, nada!

After we talked this morning when he called me for my birthday he said he was going to go back to sleep. I guess he will be sleeping from now until Wed. Let's all pray he gets out of the hole on Wed. I can't imagine him spending Christmas there, no good for him. He already said he feels like he's going a little crazy there after just four days. Yes it happened on Thanksgiving!
