I've been dealing with a nightmare case from 2009. For 15 years I've been ignored, neglected, mislead, swindled amd completely lied too. Grace took up my case after Shannon took the initial hearing. To them I'm sure it was a comical junk file when they first looked at it, but they approached it with purpose. Genuinely explored resolution. Kept me updated, and yesterday almost 15 years to the date crossed a finish line three others in their office couldn't.
After 15 years a speed, no insurance, driving with no license and false ID turned into $4,000 fine. Nationwide ban on getting a license. A body only warrant that everyone I talked to for 8 years said there was nothing that could be done until I traveled from North Carolina to squash, and when I finally did the very next day they issued a $25,000 warrant from a judge completely detached from reality.
15 years later Grace & Shannon have become my superheroes. When they delivered the news I broke down in an exhaustion of tears. These two pillars of the community deserve recognition and unmeasurable gratitude. I will forever be thankful for their dedication of sacrifice that put them in a position to help me on a throwaway "stat padding," case the prosecution wouldn't let go of.
To Shannon....Thank you for persevering and squashing a warrant everyone swore was not possible.
To Grace...Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being my ally in this fight. I almost want to frame the text you sent me yesterday, but I'm going to wait for the official dismal letter. Thank you for everything you have done.
