tl;dr - asking for gibs to help pay legal debt
The state filled an appeal for the favorable dismissal the other day, basically saying 'yeah we object to this ruling, he should be a felon for having a private conversation and shitposting online' - which is attached to this post. Different court and attorney, but it will still cost me $10,000 flat fee. However, I can do $2500 up front and then $500 payments until the fee is paid. I am confident that the dismissal will be upheld as a matter of law.
What the dismissal was: "Knapstad motion to dismiss" - meaning basically that "even if everything the state says is true, and we look at everything the state claims in the light most favorable to the state, it's still not enough to establish guilt on its face" - ie - they never had probable cause to begin with.
For that defense, I still owe about $35k for the criminal defense out of a total of $97k of fees, and am making payments. I've been able to come up with about $12-15k a year on my own, which ofc I would have rather used to buy a nicer van that doesn't have its brake lines explode going 70 down the highway etc etc but no, state wants to strip my children of their inheritance.
If your spirit happens to be amicable to a gift to relieve this debt burden on my family, at this link you can help me pay off that debt, put my name "Tyler Dinsmoor" as the reference: https://secure.lawpay.com/pages/plattbuescherlaw/trust
Also, I am working on filing a civil suit for damages, which should include awarding damages for legal costs like this. If you want to be reimbursed if I win a civil suit, keep your receipt, and I'll send you your money back, again, if I am able to get reimbursed, which is not guaranteed. Constitutional law in the case of malicious prosecution is pretty complicated.
All this stuff makes me really consider going to law school and becoming very.... litigious.... :uhu:
Thanks for the consideration my beloved niggys
