Np Good Deed Goes Unpunished

It's 7:48am on Tuesday. I have to work in Chester tonight at 7pm. So why am I awake, you ask? Because after my adventures as an amateur Batman last Sunday night, I have to be at Linwood District Court at 9am to testify against the crackhead who tried to rob the Wawa with a knife. There was a store full of people who saw her do it, but for some reason they still need witnesses to testify. It makes me wonder whether this fine human being is actually going to try and plead not guilty. That'll be grande. Last time I had the opportunity to go to Linwood District Court and observe, the case that was being argued was one of a man who was going to be evicted from his trailer home and then it mysteriously burned to the ground a few days before that happened. Of course, they found gas cans inside the residence and the arson investigator said that the fire was arson, but that's besides the point. The defense "attorney" first questioned the arson investigator's credentials (he was a State Trooper who'd been on the job for at least 10 years and investigated thousands of other cases) then when the judge told him to just get on with things, he asked the investigator if it wasn't possible that maybe someone else had broken into the home and set it on fire. Of course. It only makes sense. So yes, perhaps today will be entertaining, if nothing else. I just hope I can force myself to take a nap this afternoon, so I'm not dead tired through the night at work.
