Heres another odd event!

[Still SickofUm]

After my wife gave the court jurisdiction. The Judge asked me if I wanted a jury trial. I said yes I want a jury trial! The prosecuter jumped in and said now that we have jurisdiction they don't get an option for jury trial. The judge says "Oh yeah, you're right". That seems awfully odd to me.

[Frustrated]

No, demand a Jury Trial and keep pressing it! Prosecutor KNOWS YOU ARE ONTO TO THEM! The JUDGE ASKED YOU< SO GET IT!

Yes! Ask for a Jury Trial. Otherwise why did the Prosecutor jump up for? HE KNEW you got it!

Request a Jury Trial and let the game begin. All the evidence will be made known in Court for everyone to see! The Jury will know what CPS DID!

[Still SickofUm]

I said" So you are telling me that I don't have a right to a jury trial"!

The Judge said thats'right

[Still SickofUm]

My wife made a plea of no contest, without even knowing what the allegations are! She was sitting with about three of them outside the court like they were all buddies. They did the same to me in Arizona. We should have easily kicked their ass this time with the knowledge we have. I'm afraid that my thoughts on my wifes mental condition are sadly true! Everyone that knows her including her own family can see that isn't right! They are going to eat her up, and spit her out as a childless mother with no parental rights! Their isn't one thing I can do for her.

The district attorney's office is the only agency in our county with the authority to decide whether to file charges in a criminal case involving the abuse of a child. The DA alone decides which cases should be presented to the grand jury, what recommendation should be made to the grand jury as to whether an indictment should be returned, whether to plea-bargain the case and what punishment to offer the criminal defendant for his or her crime, whether to go to trial and on which of the available charges or whether to dismiss the case. This incredible array of charges and authority is what is known as the "prosecutor's discretion."

The DA wastes all their time trying to prosecute innocent parents, and purposely lets the bad ones go for headlines and to cry that poor CPS is understaffed. They know nothing happened, The GAL and the case worker both made record of that, as words from our kids. We still don't know what these allegations are, and not for lack of asking! They are just waiting to trump something up after the fact! I've got a hearing next Wednesday for a Motion to dismiss. I'm going to try and stick with the point that they had no pick up order. and there was no Probable Cause or exigent circumstances.
