HMMMMM, thank you for your candor and great advice. Yes, I am aware that it is important for her in the future to remain threat free. She was reacting to the fact that a person was stalking me, slashed my tires, and threatened my life. Hence, she did the wrong thing and she is going to court for the charges. I'm sure your schedule is quite busy and I am so sorry that you felt obligated to respond. I am not a lawyer, but being a doctor, if I had a penny for every trivial question that came across my desk my med school bills would now be paid off. Point being, you are right on with the concept she should not threaten anyone anymore, but this forum was not created for individuals to give lessons on morality and proper interpersonal behavior. It is meant for people who are NOT lawyers, so they can throw some questions out in the field. I looked at some of your previous responses to past board postings and you seem to have a grasp on the law and its plasticity. However, try to keep in mind that the people who are posting these stories on the Board are not that great off right now, they do not need snibe comments, just some quick advice. On a more personal note, we choose these service jobs to help people, if you think your advice was something I did not already know, I would not waste anymore money on your education. Hopefully someone will answer my topic from a legal persepctive.
