thunderbear, call here to see if you are eligible for an attorney: http://www.kybar.org/418

Notice there are three different places to call. Always ask if they know of someone else to call if they cannot help.

Go to your doctor's office and find out if there is a note about the doctor's excuse for strep throat in the medical records. Did your son see the doctor for the stomach flu? If so check the medical records for notes on the visit. Get copies of the records for court. If you can, ask the doctor if he recalls the excuse and stomach flu.

Did he get any prescriptions for the strep or flu. Maybe the druggist has a record you can copy.

You should see if you can get a lawyer first. The lawyer may have something different to look for.

Was there a judge there when you were taking with the county attorney? Or were you there to pick up the papers accusing you of a crime? A judge should not allow the county attorney to interrupt you.

Let us know what is going on.

Sorry about this, thunder.
