Victory at last. My lawyer had met the judge at a BAR Association event the night before,the plaintiff never showed up and that went in my favor. This morning my lawyer went in for an hour long meeting first and looked worried when he came out, he told me the judge was worried that no original tapes or transcripts could be located so he had 4 different property clerks testify that all records up to 1999 had been destroyed. The biggest thing that went in my favor though was my honesty about the original charge,tha fact that I was dressed in a suit ant tie(all these other disrespectful jerkoffs were walking into the courtroom with ripped pants hanging down,underwear showing,raggy jackets and no haircuts) When the judge asked if I had anything to say I told him that when I left NJ I lost my house and was 60,000 in debt now I live on the water in florida and am debt free with my wife and I have a 3yr old grandaughter not worth giving up for anyone. Thanks for everyones support Godbless and Merry Christmas!
