Any update ?

Went back to court on November 17th. The neighbor lady's court appointed lawyer ask the judge for 6 more months to pay. He granted her request. So far I have received a total of $915.00! She still owes me $2291.66. I wonder if I'll live long enough to get all my money?

Man I wish I was licensed in your neck of the woods. I would take collecting from her almost pro bono just out of spite. I cannot stand neighbors that do not respect the property line.

Not that I am a loner, but if I invite you over that is a different thing....

Also the legal system needs a better way to deal with people with mental health problems.

No, not with that judge. They are just "waiting you out" there Shield. The wheels of justice sure move slowly don't they? If they move at all.

Every time we go to court it is a different judge.
Her lawyer told the judge, her clients only income is social security. I wonder if the court system bends over backwards for all the drug dealers too?

You should be getting interest on the money owed because she's clearly at fault.

Shield Arc, can we assume you didn't invite here over for Thanksgiving dinner?

At some point, and maybe you're already beyond it, the legal costs will exceed the award. Then you've gotta ask if it's really worth pursuing. If she's a nut job, and she shows every sign of it, a ruling in your favor won't change her behavior. And the legal system (notice I didn't say justice system) will continue to pander to her because of her cerebral disability. If you're like me you really, really hate being taken advantage of and want to get even, but the tools at your disposal to do so aren't working in your favor. Could it be time to just let go and move on, instead of stirring the upset every six months?

It doesn't cost me anything. I just go to court to see what is going on. The prosecutor office will not keep us informed. The only other woman on earth who has cost me more than the neighbor lady, is my wife!:laughing:

Sorta OT but local State Patrol trooper was caught off duty. DWI at 3 times legall limit BAC Question in the press is "Why isn't she in jail", common upright citizen with no prior would have been jailed until they saw the judge. Haven't heard the official answer yet.

That's pretty typical. Local sheriff in the state was doing 3 times the speed limit through a school zone (with kids present) and got caught. Judge decided not to pursue the matter.

Its Thanksgiving and some of you want to put this old woman is a debtors prison without once ever hearing her side of this minor squabble!

Just saying

More like just wasting bandwidth.

I personally trust the judge who has long ruled on this.

 

[Thall303]

Yes , most Judges are more interested in justice than in vengeance!

 

[Citydude]

You mean the county prosecutor didnt pursue it dont you? Judges dont decide that.

 

[Thall303]

No, that's not what I meant!

They actually said on the news that the judge didn't want to pursue it. Was something they touched on for about 10 seconds, then switched topics. Didn't catch what the reason was for the decision.
