Whelp...whoever made bets for postponement, please collect your winnings at the gate.


The judge was forced to postpone (notice the word FORCED) because the uncle's attorney said she would not let this rest if she was not there to argue her client's case. The lawyer wasn't able to show because she was in another courtroom elsewhere. So...making the judge VERY angry apparently does have it's drawbacks on him...the judge actually told the DA to apologize to me on her behalf since I wasn't in the courtroom when this entire ordeal took place. I was sitting outside on the (very hard) benches.

The new date is set for May 13 at 1:30 PM. The judge said that if she could have gone ahead today, she would have, but since he was making such a big stink over his attorney being there...he "claimed" it was because he didn't know the ownership hearing was today, so it would be "lack of notice". Ridiculous...

Anyway, the DA explained I'm welcome to bring my own attorney, but offered up his services as my attorney since I am still a victim of the criminal case.

Well, good news and bad news! It really sounds as though you will get Max back soon anyway! At least the judge is obviously on YOUR SIDE!!!

I don't know what to say other than I'm so sorry that this has to continue for yet another two weeks.

How could the uncle not know it was an ownership hearing. Why else would he be there? Gotta love his lawyer too.

At least the judge seems to be more sympathetic to your side. As she should.

May I recommend http://www.donhaslam.com/contact.html Don is a pit bull in the court room. Tell him I referred you. If this hearing is not criminal, but ownership, you will be better served by a private attorney. And if you win, the uncle would have to pay your attorney fees.

just be thankful it was not tossed out... so this is good news that it is still pending

I am sorry RoPo they are playing the waiting game with you. Trying to wear you down until you miss a court date and I'm willing to bet their attorney would not let it be postponed. I hope the judge sanctions the attorney for participating in this ruse. If they pull it again on the 13th have an attorney to fight for you there, he will argue that they forfeited the case by not showing up, defendant or the attorney.
