Well it's been a little while since I posted on here, I'm dealing with a lot of stress as you can tell by my previous post. His last court date was on January 10th 2022 and we ended up having some serious car trouble so I couldn't make it up there. Whether we were there or not the indictment in to adult Court happened Justice his previous lawyer told us it was going to.
So let's start with the good news...
I spoke with the lawyer and she said that he has been indicted and his bail has been reduced from $100,000 to $50,000. She said she's going to try to get it back into juvenile court and she feels that she may be able to but if I'm able to come up with the bail money then I will be able to get him out!
Yay!!!
But wait did she just say $50,000 Bond. Now for a lot of people in America that I am not acquainted with possibly could afford that but for the people I know coming up with that kind of money or even the 10% of that money is a rather hard task.
Even though it was appreciated the donation thing that I posted for PayPal on Facebook and on here only raised $10 so I had to figure out how to come up with the money to get him out.
Along with trying to get the money the added stress of him being quarantined was ridiculous and very stressful to me because my son is a rather hyper child not too too hyper but he likes to be busy. Quarantine I didn't believe at first thought he was exaggerating but on a video that is going to be shared on this post or part of it anyway shows in the background that he's not exaggerating. Its only 4 or 5 secs but your looking under his arm at 2 people sleeping.
The people that went to jail that day are all put in the same room for two weeks. They don't put them in the orange jumpsuits and get them changed out. They wear the same clothes they wore when they came in. I assume they do go through the pockets. But for a period of two weeks they wear those clothes. Now in that room there is nothing except for a couple of benches and a toilet with the water fountain in the back of the toilet. People I know in the past have referred to it as the drunk tank. It's the room that they send you two if you're out disturbing the peace extremely drunk and they put you in this room so you can sleep it off 24 hours and go back out on your own. But these people are in there for 2 weeks with no cards no board game no magazines no TV.
I understand it's not supposed to be luxurious but tons of things to do however I also don't believe that it is right in any way shape or form to treat a human this way. So it's not just the clothes and not having anything to do. It's the fact that these guys are sleeping on the floor or on one of the benches the wooden benches personally I would choose the floor over the benches cuz if you roll up and you're going to get the damn floor anyway. But they're sleeping on the floor no pillow no mattress no blanket in front up from what I was told by two different people that were in there it's cold.
Okay so here I am trying to collect this money at the same time my son's calling me because he's bored and then he's trying to help me figure out different ways to get money which can be helpful but whenever things aren't working I can just add to the stress but he was in there Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday and finally on Friday I got all the money up!
So it seems great I drive up to Asheville I go to my daughter's made up with her and she drives me on over to the jail. As we're getting there my son calls now he didn't get to talk to me on Thursday so he doesn't know we're on the way. He calls me and at first I told him dude I'm so stressed out I don't know how I'm going to come up with this money. He replied that I know just keep trying don't get stressed out about it just keep trying to do what you can do. I couldn't keep it a secret any longer I told him that we were almost there. You didn't believe me at first it took some convincing. Finally he believes me and you can hear his voice cracking he's in tears he's so happy and feels relieved because I said dude seriously I'm walking into the building right now you'll be out in a few minutes. I hung up with him and he said he would talk to his cousin on the phone just to have something to do until he comes on out.
Understand that I do not do anything to hurt my children I have punished them when they've done wrong to try to teach them not to do wrong but I have never lied to one of my children just to cause him pain. On this day I'm sure me telling him that was way worse than me just not answering the phone. Because I get in and I meet up with the bondsman and where taking care of everything and we got a hiccup. They can't get anybody to answer the phone in the filing Department. Just for clarification I'm not 100% sure it was called the filing department but I'm pretty sure that's what they said. Anyway after about 30 minutes 45 minutes good news they got a hold of them so now we're back on track.
So now that everything looks as if it's going to go smoothly my bondsman go ahead and let another Bond lady help finish this up so he could go ahead and head on because it's just a waiting game now but everything is good to go. You can imagine my relief. After sitting there for around four and a half to five hours, the lady from the jail radios into the room that we're in to let the Bell let you know that the one inmate that she was already waiting for will be out in a few minutes however my son. My son we can post the bail for but he's not allowed to leave until at the earliest would be Tuesday! Why the Bond lady asked, and the jail lady said because the judge signed for him to have a pretrial release set up. Now the pretrial release it's something that should have already been set up on Monday when he went in, Tuesday maybe if they're being a little Slack but this is Friday and now it's 7:30 p.m. so the person that was supposed to do it is gone for the weekend and it's a long weekend because of Martin Luther King jr. Birthday holiday on Sunday some Monday the courthouse is closed. I busted my butt did our end and then I've learned that people that pay bill don't necessarily get to leave I've never in my life seen this the bondsman hasn't ever seen or heard of anything like this.
After a very upset ride home I decided to call the jail back and speak to the sergeant there. The Sergeant explained that this is something that the judge signed so even if I paid the bill she couldn't legally let him leave. I started to understand pretrial release a little better however I'm still not completely sure of the point of having that and a bondsman. Why should I somebody with no money bust my hump to figure out a way to come up with 10% of $50,000 just to have him on a pretrial release which would be doing the exact same thing that the bond is supposed to do it's just supposed to make sure that he's not going to run and other reasons it says is it been assessed man has done that shows he's a threat to the victim. He's been in their custody all this time he doesn't have a license I don't live anywhere close to where they were so I wouldn't say he's any kind of a threat especially since I'm signing saying that I will keep my eyes on him. Also I'm still lost on the victim part considering you're innocent until proven guilty there is no victim until proven guilty it would be a plaintiff would it not.
Getting off the point.
The facts are as any of the readers would have been reading my blogs can see it's a constant battle uphill against a brick wall with nothing to fall on. How many people do you know that have a bail bond set and they pay it and still can't leave them I've heard of people having to wait a few hours but 4 days.
I guess I'm going to go back Tuesday with the bail money and do the process all over again and we'll see how it goes.
Please if any of you know of a decent lawyer in western North Carolina or someone that is willing to travel pro bono I really could use the help I'm afraid that his lawyer is not going to be a good one.
I asked her about her success as a lawyer I worded it like how many wins have you had versus losses? She replies after making a couple small sounds with her lips and about a four to five second delay and says I really don't like to use the word winning or wins because there are so many different ways you can have a case come out with a positive outcome.
WTF!!!!
Did she really just say that? Holy shit!
I have had my fair share of lawyers in the past and that is a question I always ask!!
This was the first time I ever got an answer as unassuring as that.
It would be wise to find another attorney!!!
At this point I am I feel like this lady isn't going to win a damn thing. I tried to call her that night and text and got no response. The next day I tried a couple times and she finally call me back and I explained the situation to her she didn't let me know that she does not work the weekend but she said she will see what she can do in case it's just an error and tried to call the jail. After about 15 minutes or so she calls me back and says that she waited on hold for 10 minutes and can't get anybody. Said that if I wanted to I could call back and stay on hold and if I get anybody let them know that she needs them to send her whatever it is that's preventing him from getting out. I did as she requested waited on hold for about 5 minutes and got them and on the computer screen there was nothing there other than $50,000 bill but the lady said it could be in the file and said she'd call me back but never did. I tried to call the lawyer and text her and to my surprise I got no response.
I was given the name the previous night of the woman that was in charge of the pretrial release and a phone number to which I did leave a message but with this being Saturday and it being a government building of course nobody was going to answer the machine until Tuesday. So it hits me I was going to check on Facebook. I found a woman with a matching name living in the same area so I sent her a message on messenger letting her know that if this is not the person that I'm needing to speak to than I apologize and if this is the person and I went into detail of what was going on. A little while later I checked on it to see if maybe I got a response and I was blocked so I take it that this was probably the person that I was looking for but got no positive response. I'm
Please I am begging at this point for some help I don't want money I just want somebody that is like a lawyer or is a lawyer I guess that doesn't mind doing some from bono work for a good cause. I did say it the rape case. When I think of rape I think of a stranger or even maybe somebody you know but not somebody that you would be sexually involved with taking you against your will and forcibly entering you. When I think of rape a picture of much more violent scene than what happened in this case. And because of the case being such a serious one I'm not going into any details other than what I have on what's happened but this boy did not rape this girl.
Again any help at all would be very appreciated I guess the best way to get ahold of me would just be too post a comment on here or if you're worried about your identity being on here and shared I guess you could email me at
