tomorrow i will be in federal court. i’m not covering a case, nor am i the defendent. i’m a witness. *sigh* about two years ago, a dalton attorney was charged in a case involving a man who scammed churches and religious groups out of millions of dollars by getting them to buy into a religious resort that didn’t exist. this lawyer, who represented the scammer in several bankruptcies, was hired to filter money by dolling it out to this man or his girlfriend or pay for purchases. when he was charged with 40 counts of money laundering, i got an interview with him.
that’s why i’m going to court tomorrow. apparantly the prosecution has witnesses who contradict what the attorney said in my story. i hate this part of the job. i’ve gotten a subpoena before, but i wasn’t called. i was hoping this one would end up the same way. no such luck. i just want to get it over with. they’ve been putting me off since thursday since trials never go as fast as they expect. i really don’t have time for this considering i have a couple more things to learn before 1 p.m. tomorrow for when i start my actual shift next week. *sigh* all in a day’s work.
