Judgement in trial

[kindertime]

Teagansmom - thank you for updating us, I can see that this is a difficult time, none of these options is what you were hoping for.

I know this isn't a situation where we all get to vote or anything, but I would still think that an appeal is the best option. However, did you mean that the lawyer would abandon you completely if you went to the media, or just that she would not help with the media? That is a big difference. Have you run out of time for the appeal?

Did the lawyer say anything about the judgement? You can't introduce new evidence, fine, but its the fact that the first judge said you had no right to report to CAS that is the problem. That's what you are appealing.

It might sound stupid, but if you did go to the media, maybe they would know something. A reporter who covers court cases might know how to get things done. (Not like a lawyer, of course) And of course, they won't run a story without your ok first. Good luck and take care of yourself.
