[QUOTE="Lil, post: 645715, member: 17309"] I don't know what you mean by rationalization. I said if [B][I]I [/I][/B]were hungry. I also said he had food and smokes. He wasn't hungry. He might have run out of cigarettes. He might have wanted pot. He might have just been bored and wanted to watch DVD's (the report didn't say Blue-Ray) so I don't know. So...no rationalization. My point is I can think of no circumstances [B][I]I[/I][/B] would ever steal. He knows that. He's seen us literally call the store or go back to the store when we discover an item...as small as paper towels or a carton of soda...that they missed ringing up. Even if we tell him the fact that he's guilty is the reason we're unwilling to help? I don't know yet. I might go to court. I might not. The fact is, I'm actually ashamed. I'm ashamed to be his mother right now. The thought of walking into court with him, having other people that might know me...hell...total strangers, know this is my son? Whether municipal or circuit court, I don't know the prosecutors, but I do know the judges. That's worse. If I knew the prosecutors, I could ask for probation just this once. Can't do that with a judge. Well, it was the 6th and he was expecting a check on the 9th. He said he gave his entire check to the bondsman...so I expect that what happened was the bondsman took a promissory note and probably charged more than the usual 10%. It wouldn't have been very high bail. If he hadn't paid, the bondsman would have simply grabbed him and taken him back to jail. They can do that. *** Oh...and it occurred to me that he apparently thought he was fired on Monday the 5th and got arrested Tuesday the 6th. I do know he was not stuck in jail, because the 6th was the day he told me he got fired. [/QUOTE]
