    Finally, after an incredibly long delay, we have a session where they brought a witness (at the court's order no less, order being a reprimand that if they don't get a witness they (the prosecution) will be considered incapable of providing evidence). Guess, what? It was a farce all over again. First they show up, the witness is introduced, his name is stated and when asked for picture ID (the courts only accept government approved IDs such as National IDs, Passports, Driver's License etc.) he offered his ATM card and his health insurance card. The judge went "ballistic" is to put it mildly. Ape-poop is more descriptive of the situation. Railing at the lawyer he threatened him of placing him In Contempt of the court for actions that are demeaning to the court. Apparently, this other idiot (the witness is the restaurant's floor manager) was traveling the same day and his passport (he's Lebanese by the way and so he has no local ID) and his passport was at the travel agency (for some insane reason that I'm unaware of). Court is adjourned for an hour when the witness was supposed to return with his passport. He returns, court resumes. You can feel the judge's seething anger at the prosecution throughout the whole hearing. Especially once the witness made it quite evident that he bore no witness to any of the events that occurred and was indeed told everything by a previous witness (the regional manager). This guy came with absolutely no new information, he just parroted everything that guy told him. One thing though in their favor was that he said the regional manager came over to my work place and offered me a big bunch of flowers a basket of fruits and goodies from the restaurant and an open invitation for two as a way of apologizing for what happened. It took my lawyer 5 minutes to decimate the "witness" and his so called testimony. The judge actually spent 20 minutes asking him questions to clarify the records in the court. You can see the conviction in the Judge's eyes that he firmly believes that there was a big fat worm in the salad and that they're suing me out of frustration and spite. Till the 22nd when the farce resumes. [edit] Yay! A univoter! :D

        Cheers! I'll be posting as things happen. Honestly, when they first sued me I was anxious to know what sort of high priced lawyer or ammo they have that they actually think they can get a buck out of me. I did fret for a while, but after a few hearings, I'm just pissed off at the wasted time. Really pissed off. I'm waiting for the other case (the one where I'm suing them) to ripen and God Almighty I will make them regret they ever sued me.

          I wish! There's another 9 "witnesses" before they decide to rest or bring in more "evidence" and then whatever witnesses I bring might encourage them to bring more "evidence" again. Its only when they finally rest or declare themselves shoot in the foot or drop the case because they have awoken from their insanity will it end :( I just hope its before I decide to pack up and leave Jordan to do my PhD and greener pastures.

                Once this case is over, you should have enough for a mini-book on your worm experience :-) The wormy memoirs of Mustafa Mustafa (drop the middle name so we get the double word thing in the title).

                    Sorry - should have been more clear. By double word I meant the two contiguous "Mustafa" occurences.

                    Well, they still could. When filling up a form that asks for first, middle, and last names, how do you normally enter your names into them?

                      I'm a nice guy see, so usually I just write it out completely as "Mustafa Ismail Mustafa", but sometimes I like to wreak havoc in the system, so I switch my last and first names. To this day I haven't been found out ;)

                        Finally, after an incredibly long delay, we have a session where they brought a witness (at the court's order no less, order being a reprimand that if they don't get a witness they (the prosecution) will be considered incapable of providing evidence). Guess, what? It was a farce all over again. First they show up, the witness is introduced, his name is stated and when asked for picture ID (the courts only accept government approved IDs such as National IDs, Passports, Driver's License etc.) he offered his ATM card and his health insurance card. The judge went "ballistic" is to put it mildly. Ape-poop is more descriptive of the situation. Railing at the lawyer he threatened him of placing him In Contempt of the court for actions that are demeaning to the court. Apparently, this other idiot (the witness is the restaurant's floor manager) was traveling the same day and his passport (he's Lebanese by the way and so he has no local ID) and his passport was at the travel agency (for some insane reason that I'm unaware of). Court is adjourned for an hour when the witness was supposed to return with his passport. He returns, court resumes. You can feel the judge's seething anger at the prosecution throughout the whole hearing. Especially once the witness made it quite evident that he bore no witness to any of the events that occurred and was indeed told everything by a previous witness (the regional manager). This guy came with absolutely no new information, he just parroted everything that guy told him. One thing though in their favor was that he said the regional manager came over to my work place and offered me a big bunch of flowers a basket of fruits and goodies from the restaurant and an open invitation for two as a way of apologizing for what happened. It took my lawyer 5 minutes to decimate the "witness" and his so called testimony. The judge actually spent 20 minutes asking him questions to clarify the records in the court. You can see the conviction in the Judge's eyes that he firmly believes that there was a big fat worm in the salad and that they're suing me out of frustration and spite. Till the 22nd when the farce resumes. [edit] Yay! A univoter! :D

                            Finally, after an incredibly long delay, we have a session where they brought a witness (at the court's order no less, order being a reprimand that if they don't get a witness they (the prosecution) will be considered incapable of providing evidence). Guess, what? It was a farce all over again. First they show up, the witness is introduced, his name is stated and when asked for picture ID (the courts only accept government approved IDs such as National IDs, Passports, Driver's License etc.) he offered his ATM card and his health insurance card. The judge went "ballistic" is to put it mildly. Ape-poop is more descriptive of the situation. Railing at the lawyer he threatened him of placing him In Contempt of the court for actions that are demeaning to the court. Apparently, this other idiot (the witness is the restaurant's floor manager) was traveling the same day and his passport (he's Lebanese by the way and so he has no local ID) and his passport was at the travel agency (for some insane reason that I'm unaware of). Court is adjourned for an hour when the witness was supposed to return with his passport. He returns, court resumes. You can feel the judge's seething anger at the prosecution throughout the whole hearing. Especially once the witness made it quite evident that he bore no witness to any of the events that occurred and was indeed told everything by a previous witness (the regional manager). This guy came with absolutely no new information, he just parroted everything that guy told him. One thing though in their favor was that he said the regional manager came over to my work place and offered me a big bunch of flowers a basket of fruits and goodies from the restaurant and an open invitation for two as a way of apologizing for what happened. It took my lawyer 5 minutes to decimate the "witness" and his so called testimony. The judge actually spent 20 minutes asking him questions to clarify the records in the court. You can see the conviction in the Judge's eyes that he firmly believes that there was a big fat worm in the salad and that they're suing me out of frustration and spite. Till the 22nd when the farce resumes. [edit] Yay! A univoter! :D

                                          I've been very disconnected from CP lately, so I've missed the beginning of the story. Do you care to write a short summary for those of us who didn't know what happened? :) It seems everything is going on our favor, so you'll win that easily. The only bad thing, as others have said, is the lost time.
