Well, court was another futile effort. He didn't show plus he has a new defense attorney and trial is scheduled to begin next week. Looks like he is attempting to put me on trial instead. I received a letter today from his new attorney that is dated March and I just received it today (that's how they operate) and it's addressed to my former attorney of three months ago. The letter is so insulting and demeaning I can hardly believe it… something about "criminal procedure"...then it goes on to say... that if I don't curtail my conduct they are going to file criminal proceedings against me... as I am violating the order of protection… by continuing to harass my husband with my endless phone calls... And then they sent a copy of the letter to the city prosecutor's office!
I cannot believe the blatant lies this man is feeding his attorney! What happened is he has possession of my personal belongings plus he kept my phone… every time someone calls for me who doesn't know my new phone number he says it's harassment. The second instance is my family... my brother has always liked him and called him out of concern. My brother told me after he did it and I told him it was a mistake. Sure enough, I've had to answer their accusations twice now because of my family.
The man continues to stalk me and monitor my movements on a daily basis with as many as 30 phone calls a day... invades my house... still messing with my mail. And then he tries to prosecute me for his actions! This little mean man has the right to blacken my name, insult my integrity, discredit my character all because I dared to defend myself against his brutality. And I understand he is still working.
My advocate from the court says that this case could go on for years... and maybe even be appealed if he is found guilty. His sense of entitlement and justification for his actions is mind-boggling... a police officer who throughout his career made common people accountable for their actions... but he is above the law of accountability and it doesn't apply to him. He slides through the system and is not held accountable. It makes me ill to think of who his next victim might be...
And to think the city where he was this important legend, he says, put up a monument with his name on it honoring his achievements and service to his community.
Eventually this will all be over... and my case settled in the courts... but it will take a long time for the feeling to leave me of being touched by someone evil. I married someone that I didn't really know and now realize that I was in love alone. There was no one there but me and the handcuffs; a prisoner, incarcerated, judged and convicted all in an abuser's court. This man still terrifies me, which I guess means he's still in control. I've always thought that if I could understand someone's behavior I could deal with it, but I don't understand this kind of cruelty.
