What is the name of your state? Michigan
Is a prepaired statement by the defendent addressing the court to the alligations made by the defendent viewed as any less credible as a spontaneous one would?? I just do not want to leave anything out and make sure I answer the allegations without the leaving off of anything out because of nervesnious ?? knowing full well i can be questioned pertaining to the content.... And do I have a right to call any witnesses prior to my own testemony/statement???
Are notarized statements in lieu of a personal appearance by a witness allowed??? if not is there a procedure to get them allowed....My witness cannot take the time out for a court appearance because they are a business owner.... her statement is only one thatstates that all the personal items were in the trailer that the judge ordered be returned to her and that she followed me immediately to the judge designated meeting place.... the judge picked a desiganted public plsace of a Moose Lodge parking lot.... I asked the person to inventory said items and had her sign the list with the statement that all items were returned to her satisfaction.... which she did..... I get a notice from the court 3 days later asking me to reappear because the person now claims that a table top was maliciously scratched/gouged and is now not accepting the table in that condition.... .... I returned the items alone and she had her 18yo son there to load it all into a small s-10 pick up.... nothing was ever mentioned to me of the alledged malicious scratches.... the items were stored in a trailer (enclosed) for 4 months and not touched by anyone but her during this time. in as much as she went in the trailer to recover some items she wanted to sell on ebay.... tables a few years old and to the best of my knowledge and memory had some normal I would say blemishes both to the table and the chairs... I never used any of the items includeing some window air conditioners a bissell steam cleaner.... thsi person has posted a statement on the internet in regards to me to the tune of "Once you get even it is easier to forgive" which I did print off.... what is my best line of defense .... deny knowledge of the defects and make her meet her burden of proof.... this is just a vindictive woman with no means of support trying to extort money along with her possessions... Also can I now still ask for the case to b e taken up by circuit court?.... seeing as the defendant has no money can she get a court appointed attorney?.... right now were talking the worth of table as being 500.00 but her original suit asked for 600.00 .... I counter-claimed for 400.00 for monies I felt owed me but the judge refused either of us any money but just that I return her items....
