It's been almost a year since all this started.
I would have thought that the criminal would have pled guilty by now. The evidence is just too overwhelming. Besides, the police never called me to get a statement, so I thought the matter had already been dealt with.
Imagine my surprise when I received a phone call from the Toronto Police Sex Crimes unit. They realized that they never got my statement so they are asking me to give one to them. The defendant had pled Not Guilty (surprise surprise) and the case is going to trial in April.
To top it all off, a subpoeana will be in the mail shortly. Fun, fun, silly, willy!!!!

I got a subpoena in the mail last summer - see, I'd been a witness to an auto accident. No big deal, but apparently the at-fault driver wanted to go to trial over it. Then I got another notice saying "nevermind."
I might as well lose some of my hard-earned respect and say "what IS a subpoena?" To me, it's always been another fancy word said by fancy people who wear fancy braces.

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Fancy braces? The last British crime drama I saw suggested that powdered wigs were still the thing, but I suppose legal couture marches ever on.

Didn't they make a joke about the word in Animaniacs once?

I thought it was "pianist" they were making fun of. It was the episode when the Warners Brothers (and the Warner Sister) were chimney sweeps working at Beethoven's house.

If only there was some sort of global interlacing web of computers to solve such questions for us. We could call it the Intraweb and Google upon it.

You can never forgive it for the death of your, erh, fanciness?
