Criminals :-)

This went out to my daughter...

Okay, so I thought I was beat in the charge department, however, upon closer inspection, I too pled down from a D felony to a misdemeanor.  Why do I say it was a felony?  Well if one is pleading DOWN to a misdemeanor, then the assault was NOT a misdemeanor to begin with.  It was a felony.  This left me with two misdemeanor counts. To this I had to pay almost $1,000 to Victim Services.  You are lucky to have gotten off with $120 fine and a mere misdemeanor instead of a felony charge and grande bucks to pay.  Therefore, I am one up on you.  However, the bravado that I heard in regard to the charge reduction, makes my event seem blah.  Also too, I never was arrested and for that I am thankful.  I can’t say that I would want to spend any time in jail although your time sounds rather thrilling.  Be glad they did not take your butt to Rikers.  Then again, would you like to have to go to Manhattan Criminal Court over and over and over again just to plea down?  I don't think so.  If memory serves me right, this endeavor took a few months to knock out.  You got yours knocked out overnight.

The only thing I can think of in regard to your knowledge of “cool” is when I wanted to pop you and told you how it would go down if you called the police on me.  If you remembered from there, you are going good.  That is the only place in my mind that brings remembrance about playing it out.

You are catching up with me kiddo in all departments like clockwork. Now stay out of trouble.  ~ Maggie ~ March 11, 2010 @ 7:35 p.m. EST
