Peter Moyers as my Public Defender

I believe more accessibility to you and conversing over all the moves that were taken would have kept me more involved. leaving me to answer each step. There were long lapses of time between our conversations. When I would ask a question they were sometimes ignored and I was told to let you do your... job. With hindsight as 20/20, I believe I should have spoken when asked by the judge in regards to Linda Bohnert and her testimony. Just staring at her was not a determent, but declaring the backup paperwork I had in her instance, would have caused some declaration in this tactic. It was done for impact. It may have not changed my outcome, but I'm not the only one she's complained about or taken to court. The last minute letter that your included, to IWG group, was not written by me. I would have addressed that immediately. I realize all this will pass, but the impact on my friends and family with the testimony of Linda really will be in their minds forever. It will now be my job to come through on the other end and make good to all involved. Thanks for keeping me mentally healthy through this ordeal. You organized, to the best of your ability, with the info you had and presented it as you saw it would benefit me. Thanks Peter and Staff
