something good happens
So I just got off the phone with the Assistant DA who handled the attempted-rape incident that happened beneath my window a while back.
The perp pled guilty. Two years in the state pen, followed by ten years as a registered sex offender. End of story.
Although I guess it isn’t the end of the story. The perp’s story will go on, and in what way I can’t imagine although I hope that it ultimately involves him putting something good back into the universe. The victim’s story is mysterious. What little the ADA could tell me about her was that she’s local to my neighborhood, and that she still has no memory of the event, and that she has no telephone and has chosen to have little to do with the case and would prefer to move on as if it never happened. If she doesn’t remember it happening…well, I guess it’s worth a shot, and more power to her.
