THE EX-HUSBAND’S LAWYER cross-examines Mrs. Brown, telling her, “We have here, evidence of your medical records of your son, Dwight, to be announced Autistic. That is a mental disorder classified by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders of DSM-5.”
MRS. BROWN
“Yes.”
THE EX-HUSBAND’S LAWYER
“As you can see your honor, the defendant is incapable of leaving her mentally handicapped child. Even if she disagrees, this shows her son, Dwight cannot be self-maintained and self-supported without a parent.”
THE EX-HUSBAND’S LAWYER
“Mrs. Brown, would you say, right now, in the days that you see him and the time he lives with you, that Dwight is emotionally and mentally mature?”
MRS. BROWN
“He will get better.” Mrs. Brown’s face was defensive, she affirmed her statement, “By that time, he won't need me, I’m sure of it.”
THE EX-HUSBAND’S LAWYER
“Answer the question.”
MRS. BROWN
“No.”
THE EX-HUSBAND’S LAWYER
“Your honor, He is not sufficiently mature and knowledgeable to handle his own business. Oregon’s emancipation laws are given by chapter 419B in state legislature, the exact laws are the Entry of judgment of emancipation and Application for emancipation judgment. This is a violation of those laws.”
Mrs. BROWN'S ATTORNEY
“Have you, sir, ever smoked in your life?’
EX-HUSBAND
“Yes.”
Mrs. BROWN'S ATTORNEY
“Do you still own any chemical altering drugs such as marijuana?”
EX-HUSBAND
“No.”
When police searched his home, they found no such illegal medications. In the proceeding of the two different parties, the jury, and the audience found out (supposedly): The father smokes routinely. The mom was nursing and never missed a beat as a mother. Up until the kid grew more and more irritating with his behavior. The divorce led to him going back to selling small amounts of drugs. Such as Schedule V types from the kids' prescription. He would sell them and get a paycheck from clients. She divorced him because although he was loving to her, he would sell marijuana and his own kids' pills.
Mrs. BROWN'S ATTORNEY
“Did you or did you not during this time, possess and sell these drugs?”
EX-HUSBAND
“I never did such a thing. I used to smoke, but my kid’s own prescriptions?“
He sits in incredulity, “Come on.”
Mrs. BROWN'S ATTORNEY
“Sir, Mr. Brown, sir, did you or did you not sell your own Autistic’ child’s medications for your own financial gain?”
EX-HUSBAND
“No,” he says, offended by the remark.
By the time the JUDGE asks, “Has the jury reached a verdict?”
One of the MEMBERS OF THE JURY, who is a woman, says, “Yes, we have found Mr. Brown guilty of one count of substance abuse.”
The law:
ballot measure 110 allows the measure to reclassify possession of small amounts of drugs as a civil violation. Offenders will face a $100 fine, which can be avoided by agreeing to volunteer in a health assessment. If, however, the police did find drugs in his stay, then Schedule I type of drugs like marijuana classify as a B felony. That translates to at most a decade in prison and a $100,000 fine. Now, since his attorney can only prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Mrs. Brown had the intention of abandoning her son now or at the following year: breach, causation, and damages are brought into serious question. The trial is up against one testimony to another. Proof of violation of each of these parts of the case gets it settled. For Mr. Brown, his attorney can only prove her ex-wife is doing her duty. The word intent is not necessarily the word action. Much less action with guilt in mind. So, what is it that Mr. Stalker Brown does? He pays the fine. Why he didn't do the health assessment? I don't know, but that's what he told me weeks after the courtroom case was settled.EXT:
THE BALCONY OF CHARLES' APARTMENTThis Leanore Bridges woman, I should steer clear of her, An unhealthy infatuation cannot be fed. I stand on the porch of my house, gazing at the stars. Not knowing the future, or what it holds, I scheduled a job interview that late afternoon. Fill out a resume and portfolio. If that doesn't go well, I set up my first draft of my novel. I recollect the events that had been shown to me this year. I write down the beginning draft of my paper. The first chapter, Charles Muley, a Therapist’s Journal.
