Exceptional Circumstances |
Hey guys. Yesterday didn't go as well as planned. The Deputy Director, in her infinite wisdom, decided not to drop the charges as it wasn't "in the public interest". I think I know what that means (hint $). Sorry but I kind of needed a day to decompress before posting as I was pretty fired up yesterday. Our next move is to expedite the trial and go in and plead guilty but ask for exceptional circumstances. There is plenty of case law where tourists are found to be carrying ammo, are arrested but plead exceptional circumstances, receive a fine and are sent on their way. Basically I am throwing myself at the mercy of the Judge asking her to recognize that I am legally allowed to own where I come from and that it was a mistake with no criminal intent. I was hoping for it not to come to this but it is what it is. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ | |||

Thanks for the update Dave. Still praying for a positive outcome. Keep your chin up and at least know we are pulling for you. If you're goin' through hell, keep on going. Don't slow down.

Dave, has the discussions between attorneys been cordial or tense…if you can tell us? | |||

Let us know if we can help out. And sorry to hear that things didn't iron out yesterday. "I’m not going to read Time Magazine, I’m not going to read Newsweek, I’m not going to read any of these magazines; I mean, because they have too much to lose by printing the truth"- Bob Dylan, 1965 | |||

Thank you Very little |
Well darn, hope your attorney can get this resolved and get you on your way. | |||

My attorney has been great. They call him the Johnny Cochrane of Turks and Caicos. He doesn't paint rosy pictures, just talks probabilities and so far he has been right. I trust him. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ | |||

Yep, sounds like a shakedown to me. The Caribs think all Americanos are wealthy and want a part of it for their little isle, unfortunately. | |||

Wow Dave. Sorry to hear the meeting did not go well. Hope the judge finds mercy and let’s you go home soon.

I'm very sorry to hear the news. Still hoping your lawyer can guess this settled for you in an easy and fast manner. As oddball said, let us know if we can help out. | |||

No Sir, NOT funny at all. It was intended to lighten his mood and in response to his comment re: his attorney, "They call him the 'Johnny Cochrane' of Turks and Caicos." I had hoped it was also in keeping with your advise in an earlier post when you indicated, "we could do him some good by just posting. Anything- funny stories or stories about when you got into a legal bind (with a focus on positive outcomes), words of support, anything at all." I have been following this thread, and I'm obviously hoping for the best outcome here! ____________________________________________________________ If Some is Good, and More is Better.....then Too Much, is Just Enough !!
