[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 441524, member: 1233"] This is really fast. I thought it would take a lot longer. I hope they can find him easily - and that they don't just give up. Hopefully they can monitor enough of the various places that might help him (social services, tax dept, whatever) so he doesn't hide for long. in my opinion it is good he is tried in one place for all his crimes. It means that they won't keep evidence of the other crimes out of court. Not sure how your system works, but here it IS possible for an attorney to get prior convictions kept out of the trial, even if they were for similar crimes. husband was on a jury once and after the verdict was read the paper ran a short article that mentioned a number of prior offenses, several for the same thing - and most were sex crimes. Plus having one trial for all saves you and his other victims from a LOT of re-living, stress and hardship from having to testify over and over as to his character, types of crimes, etc... The people on this case sound very determined and efficient. Hopefully it will mean a long jail term (where everyone knows what he did!) and no future victims. I am so proud of the way you are and have handled this entire thing. It is incredibly difficult and even when you thought you had NO support from your extended family, you still went and told the truth and did what you could to help get him brought to trial. And you did it all with-o bringing too much conflama into your daily life. Some conflama is inevitable, but you haven't let this rule your life. You are one very strong lady. (((((hugs))))) [/QUOTE]
