Back from court. It was only a first appearance; I applied for a court-appointed atty and got one after pleading not guilty. No dismissal, there was just a pro-forma proceeding at which about 50 or 60 people showed up, about all of them traffic violations. Seems like Grandma was the only one with bad-ass charges, assault and “injury” to private property. They got to us (after getting rid of the continuances) by the judge first questioning those who said they’d represent themselves or would get their own attorney, and then those of us who applied for a public defender. Took about 2-1/2 hrs to get out of there.

While at the courthouse, g-son and I checked w/the magistrate who said the woman who attacked me had not been served with a summons yet.

She’s hiding from the summons.
