I haven't been arraigned yet. I haven't surrendered myself yet.
As for subpoenaing this forum or its members, that's such a long stretch it's not even funny. They've evidently got all the evidence they feel they need without even contacting anyone I know, for I have heard nothing from no one upon such matters.
We'll see what happens & I'll keep all y'alls posted in the loop.

Ergh. All that "First of Two for Emperor" crap is coming back to haunt me!
Oh, well.

So.
On Monday, I drive to Maryland to surrender myself & be arraigned. I'll have to have a public defender since we can't afford the fees for the extant attorney. I'm sure that bail/bond will be incredibly low, & I'm hoping that I can ever get ROR; if I haven't fugitized by now...
A friend of a friend called her parents the other night; they both work in law enforcement--the father is a 20-year veteran cop who worked with the FBI for the lats few of his career. They agreed that if I stick to my story & tell the turth, that I won't be hit hard, & may not even be hit at all. If I can show consensuality & maturity on her part (& I can), then it goes a long way, especially since it's her parents & not her that's pressing charges. Plus there's the fact that as this goes to trial, they'll have to hire an attorney to represent Lindsey, & then that means more money...dragging her through all of this....et cetera.
So..yeah.

Just out of curiosity, why haven't you surrendered yourself yet? I'm just wondering... It would seem like the longer you wait to do so, the deeper you're going ot be digging yourself.

Well, the warrant was issued on Wednesday & I found out about it then. I have to work today, tomorrow, & Sunday & wanted to allow for that if I could. There's also the fact that yesterday, the entire upper eastern seaboard was hammered by snow, & I didn't want to die on my way into custody. They know that I'm coming down & they offered me the chance as I requested; there's no need. As long as I honor the agreement, everything is fine. Indeed, it works quite well in my favor for them to wait for me to come to them instead of them coming up here to get me.

Ok... yes, so long as you have an understanding with them... It's definitely good that you've been in contact with them already. You said something about being a fugitive and that's what had me wondering...

Just to be sure, when you say "her parents", you're not talking about Lindsey, right?

I am not. Anna's parents.
1300 Monday afternoon, I surrender myself at the Golden Ring Barracks in Essex, MD. I feel like the Chinese circa 1975--"There is great disorder under heaven & the situation is excellent."

I'm supposed to be in Maryland right now. The detective called me at quarter to 7 this morning asking to delay things until Wednesday. I said Tuesday. So Tuesday it is.
It looks like I'll have to stay there overnight at least one night. He said that I'll see a commissioner that day who'll ask me questions to see if I'm eligible for bail. If so, then I'll have my bail review hearing the next day. After that...who knows.
Hey, Snay? What're you doing on Wednesday, right? I can call you for a ride to my car, right?

Wow... they want to delay things? That's kind of weird. At least, in the sense of I've never heard of that before. Why would the police want to delay you coming in to surrender yourself?

He asked you to come by on Wednesday, and you convinced him to make it Tuesday?
policeman: "Hello, Mr. Shik, this is the Maryland Police. We've had a situation arise, and we eondered if you might be able to hold off surrendering yourself until Wednesday?" Shik: "Wednesday?! Wednesday?! But I want to go to jail now!"
Are you going to have someone drive you to Maryland so you can spend the whole time asking "Are we there yet? Are we there yet?"?

Ha! Nonono...I'm probably going alone. Maybe take my friend Julia, I don't know.
As for the day, it's because I'm not in a good place with my boss as it stands, & I don't need to be making extra problems. She alloted me Monday, Tuesday, & Wednesday for me to work all this out. To have to go to Thursday...well, yeah.
