'Defended' myself in court today and got the case against me dismissed. No criminal record, no fines, no community service!
For those of you who don't know, I was arrested for having a party with underage drinking. The exact charge they came up with was disorderly conduct.
Don't get the impression this was a big trial with a grand jury, it was a misdemenor, but I did avoid the $500 fine and 20 hours of community service (the offer from Alternative Sentencing). In fact I only said five words to the judge. But they dropped the case so $$$.
