Hi,

Peach left me a message with the following info below. She asked me to post her info as she is too exhausted after all that happened.

Here is what she said:

Jethro was arrested today. Charged with Felony criminal tresspassing and resisting arrest.

Contempt and TPO order court hearing is on Wednesday @ 9am.

Almost had car repo'd was able to pay it for now but need WS to pay what he was ordered to pay so they can make it to the next payday.

She is physically and mentally exhausted. So she has asked for MB support. Prayers are greatly appreciated.

Sending prayers and good thoughts!

I can't believe these jerks continue to cause so many problems. Resisting arrest... I'm sure he said that it was someone else's fault!

That will not bode well for the court hearing tomorrow for him, but it will certainly back up what Peachy needs as far as RO and all.

Will be praying.

one thing "IF" Jethro is in jail and goes to jail for any length of time. How is he suppose to get money to pay her with?

This system is soooo screwy, when you think about it.

Well it is going to be interesting to see how he handles this.

I will continue to pray for Peach, she has really been through alot.

God bless her and her son and meet their needs in all the ways she needs you know them all Lord you are her healer! Provider!
You will be all these to her, <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />
comforter, financial, spiritually, and physically!
Just bless her abundantly Lord! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> AMEN

Keep on Keeping on!

also pray for Jethro to get straightend out too. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Maybe I can answer the jail/support question as I've been dealing with that aspect of life myself.

Yes, if Jethro is in jail, he will no longer be making an income, therefore he will not be liable for paying support (if the orders are changed, otherwise will keep piling up as past due). If there is an order and the State or County has been involved, they can take assets, meaning, house, autos, savings, checking, investments, tax refunds, etc. Since Jethro seems as if he was hiding a lot of income, the State could have a field day with that boy.

I have a feeling that is why there are a lot of people who get away with the damage that they did... it all comes down to money and the need of it to survive.

I've learned in the last 3 years that there are a lot of loopholes, that there isn't any such thing as fair, and unless something is newsworthy or potentially money-making, there are few people who want to get involved.

One just has to hope that what is happening really has what is needed to get through all this. Peachy has been put through hell by Jethro, it is about time he had some accountability. I can't imagine that Peachy and her son won't be taken care of, and for that I send all my good thoughts and prayers.

good then all they have to do is get his assets.
I think Peachy mentioned he did have plenty trying to hide them, but I do know they can still
get those back for her.

Well thank you for answering that question about the jail thing as I wasn't sure how that worked.

I know our jail here is overcrowded and they let 500 out not to long ago..scarey thought.

now they are talking about using a building for a jail out near the airport here a port building.
I guess all jails are overcrowded with people who do drugs, sell them and also dead beat abusive men.
(also a few women.)

Well I will be praying as usual..

Tell Peachy <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />
"The battle is the Lords and Peachy needs to say that over and over..to remind herself..HE WILL FIGHT FOR HER!

Orchid, thank you for posting this. We continue to pray for Peachy and her precious son. Justice WILL prevail - despite what ole boy Jethro Bodine sez. It's just a crying shame that it takes so darned loooooooong is all.
May the prayers of faith and hope life you and your son up, Peachy!
Sincerely, Harold

Hi,

I spoke to Peach tonight and she is very depressed and not feeling well. All of this has taken a emotional and physical toll on her being.

I am sure she will post later. She told me she wants to give up. Can you please post some words of support, strength and encouragement to her? I feel like her battle is more than 1/2 won and the minor progress today should not be ignored. Jethro may not have had it all thrown at him but there must be something positive she can work with. Not sure what the judges mind was when he or she made their decision but if her lawyers are sharp, they should be able to help her see what benefits they can pull from all this.

Also not sure how safe she will be now that the snake's den has been shaken. Anyways, your thoughts and prayers are appreciated.

take care and thanks,

L.

To those praying....

Would you add the judge to your prayer list too?

Peachy,

The judge might not be as short-sighted as it seems to you right now. I will tell you a story that happened quite a few years ago....

I overheard a women talking to the prosecutor outside the courtroom. It sounded like she was dejected and defeated because "nothing" had happened to her abusive husband the other times he had gone before this judge for violating a restraining order. If I remember correctly this would be their third time before the judge. I remember the prosecutor telling her that it was like the other times, that this was one more part of a bigger picture, and to hang in there and keep doing her part.

During the court proceeding, it was obvious that the judge already knew this woman and her husband. The judge was all business when addressing the woman, almost cold. It was a different story with the husband, the judge was more relaxed and seemed almost friendly. The husband talked to the judge like they were having a chat over a backyard fence. I was appalled. I was considering finding out how to make a complaint against this judge when.....

The judge's whole demeanor changed while he addressed something the husband said. The husband tried to back-pedal but to no avail--his "friend" wasn't friendly any more. The husband had a fit and started ranting about being "set up" into thinking the judge was on his side so he would say something he wouldn't have said in court. The judge threw the book at him. He looked like he enjoyed doing it too.

This happened many years ago but came to my mind when I read your post about your court hearing. Maybe your judge is considering the bigger picture and better longterm results too?

Peachy, I can't help but wonder if you are feeling now like the other woman was feeling after her previous court hearings. Rest, take care of yourself, regroup. I will pray for your judge.
