Thank you, gentlemen. Yes, Eupher, our hero was found guilty on all counts. His final court appearance was on January 30th. Prior to that his last court appearance, to have the charges read, was in November. After months of his attorneys postponing this and that as time went on, generally dragging their heels the judge was getting miffed with the recurring delays. At trial his attorneys attempted to plead for leniency, citing his need to care for his wife due to her health problems and the fact he had no prior arrests and so suggested probation. My attorneys pointed out that, while not divorced or legally separated, he has for some time been living elsewhere, in his girlfriend's home. His two teenage sons do not even speak with him. My family just prior to this drama had pointed out in their dispositions addressing the court how my injuries have been difficult on the entire family, my optic nerve damage/double vision with strabismus surgery in August to correct that, unsuccessfully, auditory nerve damage and constant tinnitus and that he hit a marine corps veteran. Also how difficult this all has been on our mother. Less than one month after we buried my father after 55 years of marriage there she was holding vigil over her only son in a coma in ICU. I had a neck brace, spinal brace/halo, hoses coming out my head and gut, wires plugged into my head, had been trached with a respirator hose pinned in place in my throat and had my wrists lashed to the bed because comatose people grasp at and try to remove all that as a reflex. So, with bonehead's lawyer attempting to grovel for leniency the judge finally had heard enough and cut him off. My sister tells me he basically exploded and unleashed a dressing down on his lawyers for dragging this out for a year, ripped my pal a new one and pronounced a year incarceration. He broke down crying as deputies handcuffed him and led him out the side door of the courtroom. Here in Buffalo the "perp walk" is a very public thing. Deputies lead cuffed and shackled prisoners out the front door of the court building, down the sidewalk to the intersection, over the crosswalk and down the block to the holding center. Initially he was facing up to seven years. Legal sparring between his lawyers and mine saw his potential sentence reduced to a possible year in jail in exchange for assuming 100% guilt with no fault of my own. I don't drink or use drugs so my toxicology was completely clean anyway but his lawyers could have drawn this out for some time. This was important to put me in good stead for the civil trial now that the criminal trial is wrapped up. Texacon I like your signature line and it reminds me of another like it.
