This week I would finally be one step closer to be done, at least that's what I thought. As you may know if you've read my previous posts, I was sexually assulted over a year ago, and this week was going to determine when this would finally make it's way into a trial. I went into that courthouse thinking I would have to sit up there on stand and give my testimony to a judge, my family, and that God awful monster at a priliminary hearing. After arriving I met with my case counselor, her assistant, my detective, and after over an hour of waiting finally my attorney. He told me that I had to wait for my case to be called and then I would get up there and speak, well sadly that wasn't how it worked out. After a solid two hour wait time in the basement, my attorney came down to have a word with my family and I. He told me that the case has now changed, that the steaks were higher, that this hearing may not happen today. Out of confusion I finally found out, this case became more than just one charge of rape against this monster, but two counts of rape, and one additional charge referring to an incident during the whole horrific time. While trying to comprehend everything that was going on around me at the time, another 30ish minutes had passed us by. That's when the attorney came back to tell me the news, as those four words left his mouth I lost my breath and could not believe what he had just told me. "He wants to wait" were his words, meaning this monster has now pushed this case even farther into the waiting process. I can't seem to handle myself these days, I can't stop thinking about the fact that I have to wait even longer for just a judge to hear my side be told, this never seems to be any closer to being over.
