Was I pissed at him? Yes and still am.
Can the law be interpreted to include private property? It is not mentioned whether the law pertains to public or private land, so probably yes.
Do we have legal council who is handling the case? Yes

I am not saying my son was wronged from the perspective of what he did. I am simply wondering if our legal system, at least in my county, is run by who you know. I was told by the lawyer this is how it is always done. He seems comfortable with that. OK, as a citizen I am not. I think not only my son, who could afford a lawyer, but the many people waiting for their pre-trial hearings with their babies around them, no lawyer, no influence deserve better, deserve blind justice without having to know the right people. I am beginning to think I am wrong. I am beginning to realize that because I have never been involved with the court system I bought a stupid American idea that there is true justice. I think I must be pretty naive.

Thank you for your responses.
