Oh my. That is awful, I'm so sorry. You will be filing an appeal, right?

 

[RaZ]

I will discuss strategy with my attorney next week. He was appointed to defend me in the pending ordinance cases.

It is nice to know that people care about me.  Thank you all.

I'm just back from the courthouse.

The sentence is:
30 days in jail
6 months of reporting to probation
$905 in fines
Pay for the court appointed attorney
Comply with all city ordinances.

But the judge was "nice" and suspended the jail time. However, if I fail on any of the above details I will be thrown in jail. And since there are more ordinance violations next week that pretty much assures that I'm breaking the last condition.

That is pure madness. I just can't believe it. This makes my blood boil. I think you should be screaming your story from the rooftops. It should be on the news because people need to see what kind of lunacy has taken over in our courts.

Raz- Just can't believe how far left that they have gotten into. Stooopid FAT grubberment!!!

"What are you in for?" "Keeping chickens" sounds so ludicrous. Thoughts are with you RaZ.

 

[Folly's place]

Raz, so sorry for this outcome; sounds crazy to me! Any chance of publicity helping? The news? ACLU? Local slow foods movement? Too many people think that food grows in styrofoam in the supermarket. Mary

For keeping chickens??? I think you would have got less for growing pot! This is just NUTS!!!!

Congrats Opa on getting a turkey. I hope your hand will be ok.

I LIKE long storys, and old people,

....

Me too!

Yesterday evening we took a family walk out through the back pastures, through the woods and to the bean field. DH was looking for signs of game and DD was picking flowers. I was noticing how many spiders were in the grass. So. Many. Spiders. Yuck. I said to DH "look at all of them! There are thousands of spiders, it's like a horror movie!"
He replies "maybe you should get some guineas"
When I bring some home I'll remind him that it was his idea.

HA HA HA HA HA.. I love my DH He just says "Whatever you want honey, I live to make you happy" and smiles and shakes his head !

Aren't hubbies just wonderful??

I moved my broody to the kennel last night and she's still sitting right on her eggs!! Woo hoo! Going to swap them for my blrws and hopefully have some beautiful babies hatch out this weekend!!! I am beyond thrilled about this.

Good luck!

Hope they don't put RaZ in jail. I mean, he shouldn't be allowed to walk the streets. He's a bad man, keeping chickens. How dare he?? We're all thinking about you, RaZ. Hope it's not too bad.

Enjoy your day..........

Yes, didn't you know chicken owners are dangerous

That's just insane!!!

 

[Nigellas]

Ugh, Raz. I've been checking in all day to get an update on you. While I'm glad you aren't in jail, I'm really bummed for you and frustrated too. It's madness!

expected the fine , (any thing to get your $$)
not surprised about the suspended jail time (to let you know "they are serious")
do not understand the probation,--------- have to report and do a pee test every so many weeks??
