So my mom figured out she could 'Appeal' the decision of the courts. All she had to do was to go up to the courthouse and speak with the DA. She did this. She filed out the paperwork, and she was appointed another lawyer to review the case. This made her feel like she had done what she could, and honestly if I was in her position, I may have done the same thing. It's easy to judge I guess, but the reality is, that this means she's going to have to go through this again.
The new lawyer called me. I told her the background, gave her all the phone numbers of family members and friends. I told her what I could to help my mother, but so far, she hasn't called anyone else. I think this is a pretty open and shut case. It's just going to be more painful for my mom to have to go through a trial again.
She doesn't understand why this happened to her, and I don't see any judge giving her back her license or her freedom. Meanwhile, I try to get her to come visit me. Every day I call her. .Mom, come up and see your Grandkids. . mom, the boys miss you. . Mom I miss you. Birthdays roll by, she changes the subject and focuses on her court date. October 6th.
