Appreciated. It is really tough to do. Case is complex. This fact turns off investigators. It would take following the source of money through decades of personal and bank financial records, and this requires warrants and dedication. I just got off the phone with someone at state police who does not think there enough to have probable cause to get the warrants. I told him no one knows what a judge will say until the judge is asked, and that my mother is entitled to equal protection under the law, and my say so should be enough for probable cause. Just as it meets the criteria for probable cause having a witness to a shooting, I have witnessed what amounts to a robbery, and technically a criminal conspiracy, and I know who the suspects are, and that the hard evidence exists, and where that evidence must be. I also slipped in that the easy cases are low hanging fruit, and solving the harder cases will bring more personal and professional satisfaction. Everyone wants the findings of the capacity hearing, which is being delayed by not quite having the necessary attorneys fees. I may have to sell the Surefires. There is a case open and on hold in Florida. I wanted a case opened in Virginia for recent and continuing crimes. But it seems I will need the capacity hearing findings first. I optimistically and conservatively hope to have this complete, and attain her legal guardianship, by the middle of next year, maybe sooner.
Her finger is doing better still this afternoon, btw. It seems strange to me a wasp could leave a stinger. I thought they could sting over and over, not leaving a stinger. Maybe it wasn't the wasp that got her... maybe there is a dying or dead bee somewhere. If I am not with her to remember what happened, there is no way to know unless she begins to adopt the habits that those in her condition should adopt... writing down a reminder. She is sort of set in her ways, and often her own worst enemy.
This is the biggest challenge of my life. I am not accustomed to being responsible for anyone else. Cats don't really count. I do need to get a kitten, it has been too long... but I have to wait until we have a place to live that is large enough for the three of us.
