insert profanity here

This day just keeps getting better and better.

I got a call today from the victim-witness advocate about the criminal proceedings. Once again there is a delay in the trial because of the defense attorney. She's been sick since January 3rd and today she apparently e-mailed the other parties saying her mother had a stroke. I'm starting to believe this trial will never get started, and apparently I'm not the only one. The victim-witness advocate shared her concern that she thinks the attorney is about to bail. That would mean another long delay while a new attorney is brought up to speed.

And in the family court matter I get the sense that the parents' attorneys have only one remaining strategy, which is to simply drag this case out indefinitely by applying for continuance after continuance. Right now it's working.
