But, the legal system is corrupt. More than you'd ever even know unless you've been a victim of their corruption. The district attorney would not drop the remaining A&B charges, insisting instead on drawing the case out as slowly as possible. Finally, a DNA test was sent for to test the jump rope. It took over eight months to come back, but last month it finally did, and the case was QUIETLY DISMISSED and swept under the rug. No exoneration, no apologies. Just a bunch of confusing news articles that pissed the residents of the town off even more at us because they thought that we were "let off on a loophole".
But you see, the real part of the story that I feel the Five of Coins was making itself known was the part that I consider the saddest.
Over the winter, he and I were reunited. I stayed in a camper with him while he remained under house arrest (still). It was horrible. Our living conditions were just... sick. I don't even want to talk about it.
