Unexpected Sadness

I was watching the Olympics today and Hazel Clark was scheduled to run and they did a quick promo piece about her and her family. Then it happened I started thinking about my Mina and the tears began to fall right there in the chow hall. My Mina is pretty fast and she's so funny. She's my girl, my advocate, Niama is my cutie, my little fat baby although she's just about lost all of her baby fat and thinned out like her sister and then there's E. B short for Ibrahim. I had to leave I ran into the bathroom and stayed until the faucet in my eyes subsided and then I regained composure and went back to work.

Sometime in December is what I am looking at. I have two court dates before then. I have my Temporary Restraining Order hearing on the 25th of this month and then I have the Criminal case set for the earliest September 10 there is no guarantee as the system is backlogged. However September 10 is the earliest that I can talk to someone about getting this thing off my foot. The best that I can hope for is a dismissal because that is the only way that it will not be a permanent record. Now that I am in the system I get a ton of junk mail from lawyers and such wanting to represent my case. I went with the lawyer that was referred to me William J. Cone Jr of Fort Lauderdale Fl 954-764-0570. He came highly recommended and he gave me a real sit down reality check as to how the system works and it is evident that they are not concerned with justice, equality or fairness. It is politics, pure and simple, politics and money.

I would like to post something from one of those advertisements here and I will post the link so that he can get credit for his statement.

Domestic Violence cases are considered extremely serious matters. According to the State Attorney's Office policy, "This office maintains a pro-prosecution policy towards Domestic Violence. Therefore, all cases involving crimes of Domestic Violence will be reviewed for prosecution regardless of the victim's wishes." Furthermore, under Florida law, all Domestic Violence cases are considered "Dangerous Crimes" which are prevented from being sealed or expunged unless dropped or dismissed. If the case is not sealed or expunged, for employment and public viewing, the case will remain on your criminal history record forever. However, the prosecutor must refrain from prosecuting a charge that the prosecutor knows is not supported by probable cause. My firm mainly focuses on Domestic Violence cases.

So basically if my wife doesn't strongly state that this was all a fabrication or something I am looking at a lengthy legal battle to get this removed from my record. Furthermore it throws 18 years of military service down the drain as I will be relegated to filing papers until my retirement date. So this is pretty serious. I may never be able to see my kids again due to the severity of the accusation. My Judge, Judge Gonzales is running for re-election and my case just happened to come at the wrong time and the last thing that he wants to see on his re-election resume is a husband that he let go went batty and slayed his wife. He could then kiss his career goodbye so he threw the book at me. He will not be back into the office until after the re-election sometime after the 26th of August.

So such is life for now. I don't quite know what Allah has in store for me. I don't know what will happen if my children get sick, I will miss their first day of school, I will miss a lot of things. I may as well been deployed for two years, but I cherish the two beautiful months that I had all of the days at the Miami Children's Museum, and the Museum of Science and the MetroZoo the days at the park and the pool, the trips to the park and the night time books will all be missed in this period of Darkness while Allah works his plan. I still love her in spite of this nonsense and I always will regardless of what happens. I think she needs help and I do not curse her as it only soils the heart. My breast has been expanded and I pray for her during this time that she has fallen into the plan of Allah as we are both in it and I am sure that what He will do will be most beneficial for our souls.
