Как вести себя и что говорить в суде? (results)

[magicmirror.livejournal.com]

Большое спасибо всем, кто ответил мне на этот пост: http://rusam.livejournal.com/3345062.html?nc=40#t105578150 .  В результате я (1) не взяла ребенка в суд, (2) выучила краткую речь имени Logofilka  и (3) не ждала успеха. Поэтому и шока особого не было. Детали:

My hearing:

- the cop tells his story (saying that I went straight from the "for  left turn only" lane)
- I tell my story in 3 sentences (was going in the left lane, saw the sign, stopped to let cars pass, changed the lane - before the intersection.)
- the judge asked the cop: any comments?
- the cop: "she was cutting the traffic"
- the judge: "guilty"
- I : "May I ask the officer a question?" (I wanted to ask why then the ticket was for obscuring the view, not for straight from left lane)
- the judge: "the hearing is over, mam."

It took less than 5 minutes.

I was the third one. The previous two were even shorter.
1: - She failed to stop at two stop sign.
    - I slowed down.
    - Guilty.
2. - He passed on  the red light.
    - Your honor, the officer is right, and I am sorry. But the light was just changing its color.
   -  Guilty.

Interesting enough that the judge was a lady who made an eye contact, seemed to listen, and gave an impression that she did not do this mechanically.
