SD62 participated in a credit card scam almost 3 years ago.  She's been dodging court ("They never let me know!") and it's been continued many times.  Finally last year, a warrant was issued and SD62 was arrested in October during a traffic stop.  Due to overcrowding and her promise to appear, she was released but never appeared.  She was arrested again last month during another traffic stop and jailed.  DH86 had to bail her out with $500.

When we picked her up, she vowed to appear at the January 30 court date (today).  She subsequently told DH it was a minor thing, $50, and once they heard her side, it would all be over.  I told her it was on case.net ( to alert her not to lie too much,).  I know it has to be way over $50.  Last week, she told us, "It's on my calendar."

All day long I've been wondering how it went.  Then I thought, 9 am? At our county seat?  SD62 has very poor navigation skills, I don't think she knows how to get there.  Appear at an unfamiliar destination, find a rare parking space, find the courtroom all by 9 am?  Thankfully, she didn't ask us to go and the only other person would be her daughter, almost as obtuse as SD62. I see on case.net there's a new date in March.

Here's, a quiz.  What happened today?

1). A plumbing problem flooded the whole court building so all cases were continued.

3). SD62 called her lawyer, obviously in pain from a serious ailment, possibly requiring hospitalization immediately. So the case was continued.

3). SD didn't show up..
