My friend has been advised by an attorney, not a criminal lawyer, and....I can only rest in the fact that God is in control. One lawyer will tell you to go and be present or it will make you look guilty. Another will tell you to plead the fifth, and not show --being there can be worse because they can ask ANY questions relevant or not, and there is not representation for the person charged.
Friends, we have been through many rough things and God has answered the prayers of this group of warriors in astounding ways! I am praying for His glory to again shine, and the dignity and respect of my friend to be returned (what Satan has stolen away!).
We are also being told that the verdict will not be known until it shows up in the mail 3 weeks later!? To me, this is rather odd....in SD I don't believe it works that way. Does anyone know? Is this TRUE for TX?
Thanks, again! Tomorrow is the big day ---the jury is meeting in a church, in the afternoon to deliberate on this matter. (Hmmm! In a church!!)
I will try to keep things updated. When I hear, you will hear.
My prayers continue for your friend. God's protection over this whole situation.
Blessings,
trussell
If you want on/off my prayer ping list, please let me know. All requests happily honored.
That's to prevent the parties causing an uproar in the courtroom.
Prayers for all concerned.
I join in prayer for God's mercy, blessing and guidance for your friend!
