Yeah. And you start getting all this stuff adding up more and more. But it was almost like the DA was uninvolved. It was just, it was another case. Now, granted, I know they're busy. I know they got, you know, big caseloads. But or big workloads. But it was almost felt like for the longest time that it was thrown on the back burner. You know, again, another continuance, another continuance.

It just kept pushing out and kept pushing out. And I'm like, hey, why do we keep pushing out here? And I was giving him names that people that were close and I thought may be beneficial. They had information and come to find out he wasn't. I was finding out he wasn't talking to these people. And so at one point I had had enough. So we'd got her. She went in there and. She open pled guilty.

They'd offered her a plea deal of 10 years. I knew she wouldn't take that. She thinks she's walking away with probation.

I think so. She said no to the plea and she went in and said, I'm guilty. But to open plea, she didn't want a jury trial. So she pretty much open pled guilty to the judge where once they do that, they do what they call a PSI. Pre-sentencing investigation.

And what he does, he puts this story together for the judge and he's not trying to make one side look better than the other. He's putting it together and then putting what he has seen from it and what he thinks is

So it was a police officer. He works with the judge. You can still bring people in, but majority of it's done so that it's not two, three hour, full day, two day case, whatever. It's normally in and out 30, 45 minutes.
