That's all it will take. I explained that I was out of the country at the time, that the statute of limitations effectively bars prosecution because neither the medical evidence nor legal advice was available then, and he waved this away. A broken coccyx at an early age 2. Surgical scars over the coccyx indicating an attempt to repair it. Now the the defense counsel begins to speak, but there are no mikes in the room, and the defendants know that I am hearing-impaired.
Defense counsel speaks in a whisper that only the judge can hear.
Then, the defendants take the stand and deny everything. But the surgical scars were stipulated to, it is in the record in black and white. Naturally, I appealed the decision. The appeal was rejected with no reason given. I complained to the US attorney's office that my rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act were violated, and they write back and say not so, since I was able to hear part of the trial.
