So be my guest, stay on the surface with a cute reading comprehension exercise.



My "cute reading comprehension exercise" really only was to point out that you decided to rip apart his post on two points: 1) with(out) prejudice, and 2) failure to consult an attorney; and that by failing to read the posts before yours you missed that these two points had already been addressed. You still seem to be forgetting about point 2; that all this legal action has been performed under the guidance of a fully qualified criminal attorney. You say:

But you seem to have missed the original quote:

I looked at my lawyer, and he told the judge



You know, as in, the lawyer was standing there right next to him in court. He's not defending himself here, he's relaying what's happening to us, and learning about our legal system in the process. Its an unfortunate circumstance to have to learn law in that matter, but at least you're coming away with something positive. I applaud you for taking the initiative to learn about the situation you're in; asking questions and making informed decisions as opposed to just sitting there and letting your attorney pull all the strings.

I totally missed point 3) civil versus criminal matters. Thanks for catching that one.
