Mike Barskey's trial (one of them)

[Mike Barskey]

FYI: I will be attending the Milford District court's trial for me on Thursday, March 12 at 1:00p. They are charging me with speeding, driving without a license, having bottles in my car, not appearing at their court regarding the previous 3 charges, driving an unregistered car, and possessing a loaded weapon without a license. The Milford district court is in the Sal's Pizza building on 180 Elm Street, Milford, NH.

Any idea what you're looking at for jail?

At least we'll get to see you May 1

[Mike Barskey]

One charge (re: the gun) is a Class A Misdemeanor with a max 1 year in jail and $2K fee. The rest are less major. I really don't know what to expect, but it's possible they'll sentence me to jail time but suspend it, and it's possible that I'll get a couple months in jail. I do not plan to pay their fines, so I'll probably have to "serve those off" at $50.00 per day.

Unless they keep bail money they extorted from you.

I'll need a ride, of course--and I'll be rehearsing this:

DOGFISH HEAD IPA

I was out driving with a friend of mine
Home from a party.  We were feeling fine.
I said, "Let's run in to the roadside Pick-N-Pay--
I want to get a package of
Dogfish Head IPA."

Wouldn't you know it?  Then we saw a cop
Just as I'd church-keyed off a bottle top.
He shined in his Maglite and blurted out, "O-kay!
I see that open bottle of
Dogfish Head IPA!"

He swaggered and strutted and showed off his tin.
He asked where we're going, and where we had been.
He said to tell him if the cuffs were chafing our skin.
We said they were, he said, "That's good."
He ran us in.

"I could go easy," he said, dangling bait,
"But I can see you won't cooperate.
To make sure there's evidence to put you both away,
I'll confiscate this bottle of
Dogfish Head IPA."

Detainment, arraignment, then bail and a trial . . .
(You know the State--they had to drag it out for a while.)
The cop took the stand, I approached with my file,
He testified, I showed he lied--
I had to smile.

The judge herself could see right through his tricks.
I'd had a four-pack, he insisted six.
It sure helped my case that they package them that way.
I always will be grateful to
Dogfish Head IPA.

"Open and shut," the prosecutor'd bragged
Waving that bottle picturesquely tagged.
But still they let me go, and when proceedings were done,
I asked and they returned me State's
Exhibit Number One:
Dogfish Head IPA . . .
Dogfish Head IPA . . .

I'd like to suggest a little advance planning on this one.  What signs should be carried?  What reaction to which of the possible outcomes?  How to greet the "help" (especially the "a danger to himself and others" guy . . .)?  Et cetera.  I'll offer my apartment, if no other, more convenient venue is available.

The van to Milford is picking up passengers in Keene tomorrow at 10:30.  We're stopping on Church street.  Anyone else want a ride?

[dalebert]

I'd love to ride along.

[dalebert]

Actually, I think I'll go ahead and drive and will take Ian along. That will free up some space if needed. I have space for two more people in the skittlemobile.

The guys here at the Liberty Bunker are down for going-- myself and Will.

Count me in on the van.

If I was still up there I'd come. I've had nothing but bad luck since I left NH.
