My second case is from a frightful night on July 4th, 2007. Because of my domestic violence case, some financial trouble, and some health issues, I have become really depressed. On Independance Day, my depressed feelings became more suicidal. I was suicidal the entire day, but survived my emotions until the evening.

That evening, I began to drink some alcohol, ignoring that it was a depressant. I called my closest friends to tell them goodbye, because I was going to overdose off of a potent energy drink. One of my friends called 911, and another friend convinced me to do the same. By then, I already had 6 of these energy drinks, and you're not supposed to have more than 1 a day.

The cops and paramedics came to my apartment, and we conversed for a while, even joked around. However, they forced me to go to the hospital. I insisted for 10 minutes that it wouldn't be neccesary, and that I just wanted to go to bed. I even offered to call a sober friend to stay with, so that I could be watched. They said that it was protocol that I went to the hospital. I really began to get angry and tearful, because I knew I couldn't afford to go to the hospital.

After 10 minutes of a growing rage in me, I finally lost it. I broke my brand new cellphone in half, and threw it at one of the paramedics. I was immediately brought down by the cops and paramedics. I was placed in the ambulance under restraints, and spent the next morning in the hospital.

Because of me throwing my phone at the paramedic, I was charged with third degree assault. However, I was never placed in jail for it. My first court date from it will be August 23rd, 2007. I really feel that since it was a suicide call, that I could plead temporary insanity or something else. I really hope that I don't have to plead not guilty or no contest. Someone let me know what you think. Thanks for your time.
