My intent was to ask the judge to hold off so I could get a lawyer that day and I was like okay- I'll take that deal. Ironically, after court costs and the fine the $500.00 bail was gone and I owed like $22.00 or something which I paid. This was like beginning of summer.
No way that's total bs lol. Lucky for you man! I think the judge felt probable cause when the guy removed his front tooth in the court. Who would have known that knocking a guys tooth out was frown upon!
All being said he should have learned to duck and weave before coming at someone and their wife in a bar and thinking nothing was going to happen. You don't do that crap and hopefully the jury see the same. It looks in my favor lol
