Ivy Tied Up |

I went to court on Tuesday. I was so nervous because I normally do not handle things like this real well.. It went off rather smoothly. I had called my dad before going and asked his opinion of if I had a shot in hell and he told me to be calm and nice. He told me not to argue with the officer and to tell the judge that I didnt THINK i had ran the redlight and explain why.

When I got to the court house I was the 2nd one there but ended up being the 3rd one seen. There were a bunch of people there. 2 guys that came out didnt look pleased so I was pretty worried. Even more so because when the judge had shown up (10 minutes late) he didnt look very happy.
He called me into his office and i sat down and he says,”you ran a red light” and I told the judge the truth about what happened. He listened and then said,”I tell you what i’m going to do” and he let me off. He dismissed the ticket. He gave me a quick (less than 60 seconds) lecture about minding my surroundings and he dismissed the ticket and let me go. I was tickled pink.
A friend asked me,”what did you do to get off.. tell me”.. Umm.. I simply told the truth.

I was so relieved when I left there. I had no idea where i’d have gotten the money for the ticket.
