First..The person who called me Jennifer happens to be my mom. I told her about the site because i thought it was a pretty decent place.

Yes they called my son in, the defendant didnt like it much, His response to that was "yea lets bring the cute kid in to win the hearts of everyone" the defense attorney took my son out in the hall and questioned him and talked to him about beng honest as well as the judge and had he no problem telling the truth. they tried trick questions and he still responded correctly.

As far as my story being inconsistant there is nothing inconsistant about it. I honestly dont think the officers who responded and heard both sides would have wasted their time coming to court and defending us if they believed we werent telling the truth.

As far as the attorney i found. He said he would take the case and help me figure out a solution. I told him id be willing to accept an apology from this man. I feel at the least we deserve that much.

As far as coming back to the site and letting you all know what happened, Yes I will.

I would like to thank all of you for responding and listening to me even if some of the responses werent what i wanted to hear. I do appreciate your time and once again, Thank you.

Interesting how things change in exactly 75 minutes.

But I won't dance around naked, but may have to watch, for educational researh only of course

The pure Hell ex-wife may very well trump This8384. I have Black neighbors who have three kids. Does that count?

Probably not.

Oh, it's a bad sign when you have to number your ex-wives. :D

But of course you can always find an attorney if you want to pay them, and a few that want headline news even if they loose.
They figure city will settle for something and the attorney will get most of it

I'm sorry. I dozed off there. What exactly is excon pulling out?

Yeah - you win. All told we only total 1.0 race, although visually we rank somewhere around -3. :)

I have a tattoo though! I get extra credit for that right?

I probably lose points for the mini-van though.

Heck, I can sell ya'll the guns then.

Well, I'm certainly not going to BUY a gun. I'm going to steal it, like everybody else.

So how long before this thread gets locked and we all eat a temporary ban for trolling? :)

Nothing has changed I just thought you all deserved a response and a thank you but I guess I'm being to nice now to be thinking :confused:some people deserve that much.

I don't know, Judy. We have the 2.25 race PLUS the ex-wife from Hell. And our pastor is black.

You're driving around with tattoos - in a minivan? Have you no self respect?

You're right. My friend "This" wins this competition.

Any second. Doesn't matter to me because I'm on my way to steal a gun and hunt down "This8384."

Be warned, "this" - I'm on my way. Load up your car with your kids, you and your husband take off your shirts and here I come!

Omg, steve... a mini-van? I won't even drive one of those... no, I think the van did you in.

Have some more dark kids, that might put you back into the competition. That or tattoos.

It was tough coming to grips with the fact that I'm no longer young and cool. Until my fiancée pointed out the fact that I wasn't cool when I was young. A "big honkin' geek" I believe she said.

Looks like I'm out of the running. Casper the friendly ghost calls us white. We are not cool. I got nothing. I live down the street from a cop with tattoos. Does that count?

I'll be waiting... just make sure you bring the racist comments! Although my daughter's nickname is "Bean" so you never know... they'll probably take her away from us just for that *lol*

I am about to get married for the third time. Of course I have no self respect. :-D

To be honest, I think I'll demote my family to only 2.0 race; I'm awfully white myself. Although my sister tans a lot, so maybe I can jack it back up to 2.125 race. Also, I think my great-grandfather was Jewish; maybe I can play that card somewhere.

Have you at least shaken the hand of a black/Mexican? I'd give you race credit for that.

I get credit for that? Rack up the points then. I have friends of every race, creed and color. None of them are dumb enough to admit to being related to me though.

Maybe we should only give like, 05 for friends. Otherwise if you start counting everyone in my church, I'm well into the 100s for race points.

Also, I didn't get around to commenting on your post before. The subject of this thread doesn't just imply that the family is innocent, is says they are. I'd love to have heard the language that got exchanged in front of the children.

I also think it's clever how the OP keeps viewing what's being posted and then occasionally posts something new, just to keep arguing. Kind of shows her true colors, doesn't it? She can't let go and move on - just like when she was in the car being followed by someone with road rage, just like how she thinks she's going to accomplish something by suing this guy.

Wait a minute! Credit is being given for being Jewish? I win hands down. Jewish Grandfather. Jewish husband. Jewish stepchildren. All "our" friends are Jewish - my husband was a Doctor of Pharmacy, for goodness sake. Everybody he KNEW is Jewish.

I win. So the rest of you can have more children, get more tattoos, replace the minivan (and you know who you are) and I'll STILL win!

So here is a point that is actually relevant to the thread:

If the cop gets sued for his part in this mess, can't he countersue for their part?

Did she say "big honkin' geek" or "big honkin' GEESE"?

HEY! I admit it freely... I love my minivan! I can fit both kids, both strollers and a ton of groceries in it all at the same time. And its got a built in DVD player!

Um wait... did I say kids and groceries? I mean supermodels and footballs! Yeah!

Now I'm going to go even more off track here.

The classiest thing I think I've ever seen on this board was posted by Hollylovesbrandon. I don't remember exactly how it went but she posted something to the effect of, "Oh, my God" when referring to her husband. And so someone followed that with a statement with the words OMG in it and it went on and on. Pretty soon Holly came back, LAUGHED at herself, JOINED the rest of us and carried it off.

I've had respect for her every since - what a class act!

(If you're reading this, Holly, I mean it.)

So Jennifer, lighten up.

No, what will happen is even if he loses the Court will assess fault - how much of this did OP bring on herself.

And then if he wins he'll sue her for harassment, intentional infliction of emotional stress and filing a frivolous lawsuit, particularly because this has already been tried somewhere or other and the OP lost.

OP cannot tell a consistent story here. She's going to be a disaster on the stand.

Then the Officer will call CPS and everyone else he can think of and OP will spend a lot of time getting pulled over. Not saying it's right, just that it happens.

My gut feeling - this is one of those "You people are wrong. I have an Attorney. I'm going to sue. You are all going to be sorry you gave such poor advice" deals. And then nobody, any place hears another word about it.

There's a thread somewhere - the OP was in a bar and passed out (not from drinking, of course) and the entire staff of the bar (which had the "mistaken" belief she was intoxicated), when she was revived, told her to leave. She left and it was her plan to sue the bar for emotional distress - ? When told she had no case, no injuries, no monetary loss, she also got an Attorney and she's going to show all of us.

I'm still waiting.

My image of you in leather chaps on your Harley is rapidly fading.

Ok, I'm going to close this thread, because I think its gone too far afield and because I think Jennifer and her family deserved a little better.

InterestedParty used a different IP than Jennifer. While it was clear that InterestedParty was somneone who knew Jennifer, it was not as clear that they were the same. InterestedParty should have identified her relationship, though.

I agree with many comments that Jennifer and her family were not totally innocent parties here. The more prudent thing would have been to let this, obviously angry, driver goes his way and not get involved. That they responded to him is to their discredit and the part of the reason he was not found guilty.

As pointed out, you can get a lawyer willing to take on any case as long as you are willing to pay. My hope is this lawyer is not trying to soak you for a fee on a case he can't win.

I wish you luck and we would like to hear the results. I do apologize that the response here was a bit over the top, though I din't feel it was completely unjustified.
