SpankyPants needs our Prayers...Please READ!! UPDATED

Hey guys,

It looks like God has shown a little light on my situation. Even though the DA is choosing to pursue the charges, they have reduced the felony to "criminal trespassing," a misdemeanor. I still have all of the restrictions, and I'll still have to fight for my innocence. However, this means that I definitely won't have to worry about going back to prison for years.

I also spoke to the psychiatrist from the prison, and he said that he was sure that I'd be found not guilty. He said that he's seen a lot of situations like this, and he thinks this one will probably go away. Now, this is just his opinion, but at least it's something. He's willing to testify on my behalf, and as someone who works so closely with the justice system, that will probably be a big plus in my favor.

So there is hope, but it will not be an easy road. I'm so grateful to have all of your support. I think that God is really listening. Thanks so much for everything.

Good luck, Spanky. I hope this all works out for you.
 
Hey guys,

The DA called my father this morning and said that she had to protect the "victim." She needed to know that I wouldn't "retaliate" and go after the "victim." So she's going to push it as hard as she can. She said she can't imagine that I'd be let go without punishment.

Great.

That's the DA's job. Don't take it personal. Also, the DA doesn't make the decision, the judge or jury does. Of course the DA wants you prosecuted.

Punishment could be anything from community service to probation, I wouldn't worry about the phone call.

Prayers still being said Sir Spanky!!!!!!:hyper::hyper::hyper:

You just have to fight your case. If there were witnesses to what happened, then you will be fine.

I really hope this works our for you. Best of luck.

My thoughts are with you. :)
 
Yeah, but why should I be punished? I didn't do anything wrong. I wanted only good things. I wanted good things for her and for me. And she's ****ing my life up. If I get convicted, this is never gonna leave me. I've been punished over and over and over again. This whole year has been a sequence of "punishment." I've never done anything to anyone. I'm a pacifist. I want to be happy, and I love to make people happy. I'm affectionate. I'm sensitive. I'm so tired of this happening to me. I just wanted to do the right thing, and I'm the one being ruined.

**** me. I can't do this. I can't go back to prison. I didn't do anything. I just wanted good things, and this is how it always ends up. I'm trying so hard to keep going, but it's so hard. Man it's so hard. I don't know why this is happening to me. God, I can't do this.
 
The trial is to prove that you have done nothing wrong. The court will see that you have done nothing wrong and everything will be cleared up, and it will be her who gets punished.

Just try to think positively. Just think about TB! We all love you, and we know that you are in the right.

Spanky. DA's make mistakes all the time. Sometimes DA's pick up pet "causes" and actively pursue all cases related to it. Who knows what the DA's motivation is. They're paid to be sharks and to go after things. Just line up your side with witnesses in your favor. I find it really hard for this to come out with anything more than a restraining order. I'm confident a judge will look at this and toss it. It happens all the time. Just hang in there. Pull yourself together and wait for you day in court where you can prove yourself. You need to be strong and present yourself in a calm thoughtful manor. As emotionally stressful as it is, you need to stand up for yourself. Don't give up on yourself.
