So I was in court today and I really wanted to check in on a couple of proceedings just 'cause I was there. Felt like I was in the movie Crash, but only for a few moments.
Anyway, I says to myself, what are the chances of dropping into a Christmas access motion, and off I went.
Here's what happened:
1)First courtroom was hearing motions and I walked in but the public seats were taken. Damn. Walked out.
2)Second courtroom was a trial - oooh juicy!! Walked in and no one was in the public seats. Everyone looked around when I walked in, especially the lawyer who was questioning the witness (more on that soon). Another minute went by and the judge says "There's a gentleman in the back...". She wanted to make sure I wasn't a witness in the trial, and I assured the court I was just there to observe. The maternal grandmother was on the stand and she was basically trashing the father, implying strongly that he was a drunk. Before it got good and the Dad's lawyer got in there, they recessed, so I left.
3)Went into a motion hearing and sure enough it was about Holiday access, endorsement was being written by the judge when I entered. Missed the (kinda) juicy stuff.
Just sayin'
I got adjourned, but will add to this thread after my next court date. Call me the Court Prowler.
