court is an awful place. also do not bring your mother. especially if in a previous life she was a lawyer (read: 10 years ago) because you had better believe that when things start going south for you somewhere deep within the pews of well dressed miscreants will come a, "your honor" followed by "im her mother, may i?"
thats when i blacked out. suffice to say it didn't help anything, and everyone now just knows that barb and i are "those people" you know the "well to do jews" who think they can just saw a few fancy words and walk away scott free.
either way i maintain the light was yellow and that i wasnt that drunk.
