Chapter 13 - MY SLAP

My conduct was investigated too.

Correctly.

I stopped Evelyn’s wrist.

Moved Grace behind me.

Evelyn attempted to shove past.

I released her wrist and slapped her.

Could I have used less force?

Yes.

The prosecutor thought so.

So did I.

I entered misdemeanor diversion.

Anger-management counseling.

Community service.

No conviction after successful completion under the program terms.

One old uncle told me:

“You canceled a wedding and then let the state lecture you?”

I answered:

“I don’t own the state.”

He said:

May you like

“Your grandfather would roll over.”

“Good exercise.”
