I figured never got anything. needless to say, never plead so i was guilty. a year goes by, i get pulled over for something stupid like burned out tail light. Runs my liscense, it is now under suspension. Officer asks me if i now why, i have no clue. Cop should have took me in, yet let me go an told me to take care of it.

I actually tried that at the magistrate. Took care of all fines and everything before that hearing. Magistrate was a dick and wouldn’t help me out. The appeal is going downtown and since it is my last shot I didn’t want to chance it on my own. Every lawyer I talk to said there is a good chance of winning since there was no serious violations like a DUI or anything. The only problem is getting the cash for one. I had someone email me about the focus tonight so hopefully that will go this week. That would be the ultimate. Get rid of the car I don’t like and have money to get my license back and buy an new toy for the summer. We’ll see. April 22 is judgement day.
