Noel Johnson

Today I went to court for the first time in my life. My roommates and I were subpoenaed to testify against Noel Johnson, the 14 yr old juvenile that broke into our apartment last year. It was really different. First off the trial time was set for 9am. We showed up at 9am ... but our little friend didn't arrive until 10am... then we waited ... and waited ... The defense attorney came out twice and joked on how he was going to interrogate us. After waiting another 30 min... The prosecuting attorney told us that Noel was going to plea "No Contest" to all charges. That was it. We had our sobpoenas signed and got paid $7.5 for being a witness.... even though... we didn't witness. It's ok because I needed the cash to pay for the $5 parking ticket I got when I went out to my car! :)

Anyhow, it was a strange start for the day.. Now I’m just trying to write a paper ... I'm the worst writer. I have bad grammar and I get really frustrated. Oh well ... here goes...
