More legal wrangling

So this morning we made another appearance in Falmouth Juvenile Court in the matter of Robert's "assault" of his teacher at the Quashnet school. And as before, nothing came of it -- our lawyer and the District Attorney conversed and agreed to continue the matter until April.

For us, it buys us some time to get paperwork that shows that Robert is making decisive clinical and therapeutic progress. And if we can do so, then we can likely put the matter to rest.

The lawyer seems to think that there will be one of four outcomes. A finding of guilt or a dismissal is the least likely. What will more than likely happen is that there with be a continuance without a finding, and if Robert stays out of trouble for six months (probation, essentially), the records will be sealed and no more will be said about this.

Here's to hoping.
