20. And its not like we're having sex, man. Christ.

 

[der Haku]

That's a relief.  

[Lanfaer]

Besides. Her parents (and mine) are okay with it. So for the moment, unless they hate me in te next few moments, we're fine.

 

[der Haku]

Don't you mean your "parent"?  

[Lanfaer]

I have a mother and father. My dad is completely aware of Tao and I. We keep him updated, since he calls pretty much every day (with 12 minute phone calls only)

 

[der Haku]

He gets more than one?  

[Lanfaer]

Eh. Per say. Each phone call costs us $2.30, and lasts for 12 minutes. We have to have paid money into a separate account BEFORE he calls, else the call just won't come through. It racks up to be quite a sum.

Lan, why did your dad get sent to jail again?  

[Zeke Uchina]

hello everyone how are you guys doing.  

[Lanfaer]

*sigh* IN Arizona, there is a law that makes it where you can use the words of another to convict someone, even if there is absolutely no physical evidance other than hearsay. So, this kid, who was basically mad at my dad, who stopped giving him cigarettes, decided to accuse my dad of molesting him. However, we had lots of evidence saying it never happened. Hell, my SISTER was there on the night of the alleged molestation. But because our lawyers were jackasses and never talked to my dad, he didn't know what evidence we had. And our public defender was in bed with the Prosecution, and convinced my dad to give up. So, based solely on this kid being an a** and accusing my dad of this, my dad was forced to plead guilty to Attempted Child Molestation, and while having to serve a year in county jail (infinitely worse than a prison) which was given optionally by our judge, my father will have probation for the rest of his natural life.

 

[der Haku]

Sounds like your dad should have been more into proving his innocence if his lawyer was an inefficient moron. It begs the question of whether or not he really wanted to prove his innocence.  

[Zeke Uchina]

Lan thats messed up man.  

[Anonymous_Alcoholic]

I don't mean to be a d**k, but Tao IS underage...  

[Lanfaer]

I'm aware. Its one of the reasons I'm waiting for her to be 18 before I go see her. It was the first concern I had when my dad was arrested.

And, Haku, its impossible to prove yourself innocent here, basically. He wanted HOME. They originally told him they'd give him 5 years probation and no jail time. But, as you can see,that changed after he was convicted. He was willing to prove his innocence, but to his mind, stuck in that hellhole, it just seemed so impossible.

Arizona is the most backwards state there is. Hell, did you know the state can convict you without a complaining "victim"? Hell, they're STUPID! There's a guy in there right now who is 80 years old. He can't walk without a walker, or some sort of heavy support. And he supposedly raped a 16 year old girl.

I'd also like to point out I'm not looking for sympathy. Its a fact we have to live with because the police won't help, and we don't have money for a good enough lawyer to fight all of this. So please don't think I'm looking for sympathy.
