On trial... again.
A while ago I wrote about being called to the witness stand in a murder trial. Well, surprise surprise, he asked for an appeal, and now me, and all others concerned, have to go through this crap once again.
I do see why he would ask for one, seeing as he got sentenced for murder, rather then involuntary manslaughter or whatever you could call it - basically he disagrees that this was a premeditated crime, that he did it out of impulse and without considering the consequences. There is rather a significant difference, I would rather have the milder sentence. He says himself that he doesn't care about the amount of time he has to spend in jail, nor the money he needs to pay in reimbursements, he just doesn't want to be stamped as a murderer. I don't know what he should be sentenced for, and I'm not going to argue either way - that's up to the judges to decide. All I know is that I'm not looking forward to that again.
Trial started today, I'm going in tomorrow. Just send me some positives thoughts, ye?
