4. I'm waiting to talk to a lawyer now, I just wanted to see if the advice

was any different, sheesh we do have lawyers here.

I have to call back the lawyer at 2:30, its a weird situation.

7. I don't mind being asked a law question in a general way

It's the same as asking someone who cooks how to boil lettuce for a salad..and I always end my posts with GET a lawyer

8. I didn't get that one locking

I looked at it the same way you did.

9. Holy crap...

10. The only thing she was really asking was how to and if she could

get it off her record..it was indeed a very general question...it's not like she posted "the police were at my kitchen table telling me I am being investigated in a murder..should I talk to them?"
