Newell has spent much of his time running from court to court with the cases being continued and continued which we all know happens in every Massachusetts court in every type of case because they are so poorly managed. This means he must miss work and appear with his lawyer yet another day to wait and wait and see what will happen to him. There are five cases left which District Attorney Keating has refused to drop even though the wife walked out of the last session, saying she wouldn t testify. A trial is now scheduled for May 1. When a person is accused of 26 crimes, there is always a chance that someone will find him guilty of something.
Every lawyer knows that there is always a chance of anything happening.
But Newell is confident that the truth will emerge and he will be cleared of all charges. He says the police tell him that they have orders that when a domestic violence call is received, they must arrest someone. But he is concerned that his children are being turned against him, both by his wife and by the private company where he is compelled to go if he wishes to see his children. After every session, the children are debriefed by an employee as to exactly what was said in their meeting with their father. At the present time, his daughter will not go to see him because she says he lies.
