I will try this forum to see if anyone can help.
My husband was charged with a b misdemeaner for property damage on our neighbor's dog. He shot it with a bb gun to get it off our property because it was about to attack our cat again. It had already attacked and bit our daughter in the process which was not reported, but we have plenty of evidence backing that up.
the dog apparently died on their property and claimed he used a 22 caliber(it was a bb) and the sweet dog was just chasing our cat and never had bit our daughter. They somehow got the prosecutors to press charges. The sheriff told us not to beat ourselves up at the time because we had the right to protect our property. One week later notified of charges in the newspaper. Letter mailed to wrong address.
Had to hire attorney who has given our side of story to prosecutors but somehow it has been 6 months and can't seem to get them to dismiss. The second pretrial, the DA called in sick and the other attorney said he wasn't touching this with a 10 foot pole. Another pretrial set for January.
We are told it is political but can't seem to understand what is political about this except these people had some connection to lie about incident to get this pushed through.
They have harassed us horrifically with visual signs for the entire neighborhood and spread lies about the incident as well, and the sheriff said they couldn't do anything because it was a civil matter and we have to file a suit. Our attorney says we should wait until this matter is cleared and dismissed. It has been too long without any answers and nothing but lies about the situation.
Is our attorney working for us or do we need to get a new one? Any help would be nice.
Thanks
