Looking Ahead

I'd like to thank everyone again for your concern, support, and encouraging words. I spoke with my attorney on Friday and feel more hopeful. My first court date is October 25. Until then, it's a waiting game. I'm told that I'll have at least two or three court appearances, but I won't know for sure until that first appearance. In the meantime, I welcome a sense of normalcy returning to my life. My stomach had been in knots for days, and I discovered this weekend that I'd lost ten pounds in a week's time. The dread I had felt in the days leading up to my arrest has passed, but now I have this court appearance looming in the distance. My attorney, however, assures me that he'll be able to resolve the matter. It's just going to take time.

Back Home

I spent all day yesterday in jail, but I'm back home. Yesterday was the longest day of my life. Upon my release, I felt numb and on edge. However, today things don't look as bleak. I am in good hands legally. My attorney was present for my arraignment, and I was released on my own recognizance. Thankfully, I did not have to post bail. A court date has been set, and it appears that I'll have at least two or three court appearances. My attorney has advised me to not go into detail about my case, but some of you already know the gist of it. Contact me personally if you'd like me to explain. My hands are kind of tied, but I can assure you that I'm the good guy.

My very good friend Jonathan came up with the idea of a legal-defense fund and was kind enough to put this whole thing together for me. I know that times are hard, and I would like to express my utmost gratitude to every one of you who have contributed thus far, as well as those of you who are continuing to give and those who have told me they plan to give. I would also like to thank those who've been unable to give but offered kind words - you have no idea how much that means to me.

Eddie is seriously needing help.
