On Thursday, I was found guilty of aggravated battery against my ex when in reality I'm guilty of nothing more than defending myself against a deranged psycho. Luckily, I'm being allowed to remain free until my sentencing hearing.
I still can't believe this has happened. I don't know what will happen at sentencing, but my lawyer has told me I'll most likely face time in prison.
Obviously, I'm doing my best not to freak out right now. If anyone has any advice to offer a first-timer who absolutely does not deserve to be going where she'll be going, I'd love to hear it. I am absolutely not a criminal and have no idea what to expect.
And, of course, I'm also worried about what my life will be like upon my release. I don't know how hard it'll be to find a job w/ a violent felony on my record. Maybe it won't be as difficult as I'm imagining, but it's definitely something I'm stressing about also.
I'm so thankful right now that my family and friends believe in my innocence. Maybe they'll be able to help me in some way to get re-established once I'm free again. They're literally the only ray of hope I feel I have in my life at the moment.

Called out Wife

The man who lives behind me told me that he called the police because his wife was bashing him with their outside furniture and they wouldn't believe him. They thought the woman was the victim as what has happened to you. I hope that you will be let go.
People like to say that it isn't the 1950s but then women all promised to obey their husbands in their marriage vows and men were in charge. But then in the 60s women's lib came in and women wanted to be equal to men. But now it has gone further with women rising up against men and bossing and controlling them. Now domestic violence is a big thing and women have brought it upon themselves. I am a woman who is old and have seen how these things have progressed.
I am sorry that you are stressing and hopefully this will all be settled.
ReplyYa know what? If I was guilty because of something I did, I would want to be punished for it. Nothing matters except what you did and it was wrong and someone is a victim of it. I never want to hurt anyone in any type of way but sometimes it happens. Under the influence of anything things can happen like that. You know your story. They know their story. And there's a true story of the situation. Honesty is the best policy. Just tell the truth.
