Just an update..... We were on the hone to our lawyer for 2 hrs the other day to figure out how we got to the stage that we have with all this crap and where it is going.....I finally got the "un-sugar coated" version of what the victim is accusing my husband of. (I was not able to hear or speak w/ the lawyer as I was a possible witness and only heard the version from hubby and his parents...) I am more comfortable w/ how this has to go (he pleading to the 3 lesser charges) as given all the evidence, he has no hope in hell of beating this case. A lot of he said she said and a bunch of lies but, an MSN message btw her and hubby was produced and it will stick to show her case......the conversation in it is typical of what they would say around all of the adults but, that is how my family is (hard to explain) Basically the lawyer said to thank our lucky stars that the Crown is a complete idiot! She has no clue as to what is going on and we will get what we want (least possible sentence) because she doesn't know any better. So, that being said, the way the laws were on the supposed incidences there is only one charge w/ a min sentence of 45 days. The other 2 have no min and since the aligations are the most minor of these offences and hubby has no prior criminal record the lawyer says that he will likely get 45 days to serve on weekends and a possible 3 months house arrest as he is the sole provider for our family. ~~I KNOW THIS IT A LOT DIFFERENT THAN WHAT MOST WILL SEE BUT, DON'T FORGET I LIVE IN CANADA~~
And on a happy note too, I had to go in and talk with the person doing the pre-sentence report (who was amazing and will be hubby's probation officer if he get probation?) and she said that her report will be nothing but positive. She has a hard time believing that these aligations are true but, is going to help us out how ever possible :) She said that we are already doing (or have done) everything that she would suggest and will make sure that it is said so in her report. This w/ our children services case being closed in June, the risk assessment coming back at 1 outta 26 (only cuz he had charges pending) and the counselor having an amazingly positive report......I was on cloud nine my friends :D
I am feeling the best that I have since all the crap came about last August!!!!
