Losing the Battle to Win the War

We had our pre-trial hearing today. Two things had to be proved: 1 That a crime (resisting, obstructing or assaulting a police officer) was committed and 2 That Lloyd was potentially the person who committed the crime. This does not have to be without a doubt and what the police officer says could be enough. The police officer involved was the only witness called today. Based on her testimony the judge ruled to "bound" Lloyd over. This means we will go to pre-trial on Nov. 19 at 1:00 p.m. Our lawyer was able to cross-examine the police officer and we feel there were some inaccuracies in the testimony when compared with the police cruzer video and the police report. Also, Ann Arbor News, was there today with a camera. I'm assuming a story will be running in tomorrows paper.
