Long story short: I was lured to Riverside CA by my husband, who was supposedly there on a business trip and needed my help. Of course I found out soon enough that he was really planning to break up with me then (and leave me $100,000 in new credit card debt accumulated-by him-during our 4 month marriage).
When I got there, he suggested we go have dinner, during which he encouraged me to have a couple of drinks. Afterwards, he informed me that he'd used my financial resources to court another woman, and that he was leaving me for her. He bodily threw me out of the hotel room and demanded that I go back home (to Oregon). I waited in my vehicle (at the restaurant parking lot-across from the motel) for a long time (2 hours after 2 drinks) before driving. I was certain I'd metabolized the alcohol I'd consumed when I left the parking lot in search of another motel. "Husband" was watching me and reported me to the police. They followed me for some time as I sought another room, and admitted that I'd made no traffic errors, and that they'd pulled me over only because of "husband's" admittedly exaggerated report. They convinced me to get out of my car by making it sound like they were going to help me find another room for the night, but arrested me instead. The breathalyzer recorded a .09.
By the way, that was the last time I ever saw my "husband," and I later learned that the woman he left me for lost over $500,000 and both of her homes because of him.
I've hired a CA attorney, and I can't prove it, but I don't believe that he's putting much effort into winning my case. Is it possible that he just wants an additional trial fee and doesn't care whether I win or lose?
Why would they let my "husband" entrap me like this? And of course, more importantly what can I do? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
