20 going on 30 (Part 4): Court Process

 After Finally being released: 

Well Once I got out and got into the car this was where everything began. As I expected I had to hear how upset my mom was among all of the scrambling and even the emotions where they took me away and locked me up. Man I really expected my mom to yell at me but the only thing I didn't expect was what she was going to say including my brother being there. As my brother told me "They would not have done what they done to you." Well he did had a good point as I was warned about this. But I never knew what I was warned about would be happening. Well It did happen and the return home after a nice delicious meal at Wendy's and finally no longer eating Jail Food. So I was glad even though My mom told me that did you know I was on the news and My Brother explained how I end up on the news was the fact that they showed my face at every opportunity and many of my friends saw me on Newspapers even Television. My Dad also saw me on Television and he was in complete shock! Well As I went back home the beginning of everything was about to begin. 

The Return Home and The Changes:

So It has been nearly a Month and Half After Moving into our 2nd Apartment in Massachusetts, well returning home and things were beginning to turn a huge ton upside down. I was put on pretrial and had conditions and well my family made sure I was following it to a T. And even making sure I do not get into any trouble whatsoever well it was a new thing and it really hit hard I could not return to school. I had an intense conversation well really I listened or hear as my Mom and My brother talked and on top of that it was very unsettling as I rot in guilt and also fear. For a number of Months we had to go back in forth in court I had to say it was tough cause we were stuck in the unpredictable and our backs are practically on the wall. Well As I was going to a bed on the temporary new normal it was even included my other brother was moving in with me as it seemed like there was a debacle where he used to live as indeed it was with our older brother he did live with. So The beginning was rough as my eldest brother scolded me through the phone about the situation and then hung up on me. As I was expecting that to happen I was angry and even bummed on just the start of all of it on how everyone was infuriated and basically damaged even though I struggle to be glad to be free from jail even though it came at a very serious Price. Being at home and only being with someone to make sure I am not in any accusations or situations where it could lead me back to jail. Everyone was on their toes so it was understandably a very uptight situation.

How did I felt at the time? 

Well The Beginning of the Pre-Trial Procedure had me feeling trapped and feeling very mopey and very sulky. I was rotting in Guilt. It felt like The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Episode where Will Confess to his Uncle that the pill that Carlton took was from his locker and Uncle Phil yelled at him for it as earlier in the episode He yelled at his son Carlton as he was in the hospital for taking the pills, so late in the episode after Will's Confession Uncle Phil forced him to apologize to the whole family, as Will apologize he even cried at the end. So As I was just thinking that there was a part of me that wanted to cry. Everytime I come to church I could not do my usual greetings for a while as I could not give hugs and on top of that I only at minimum could give pounds. Especially with the case going on and could not talk about as it could be used against us. Man I was stressed I always talked to my brother about this after church and was very nervous. I had strong imagination of me going to jail or even being in prison or also Becoming a Registered Sex Offender. I was very nervous and Much of My nights I was in bed sleeping with my heart Pounding and everything feeling unpredictable there was a point where Guilt and Nervousness Turn to Frustration and then Hope so it was a complete roller coaster. 

The Court Process 

So We have been going back and forth and even were meeting individually with the evidence that was served to us. The meeting at my lawyer's office did start with the 3 charges that I was facing and the possible consequences if I was pleaded guilty as in which I could be a Registered Sex Offender for nearly 20 years. Even face possible jail time. I had no Criminal History or even had ever been sentenced. Well as The Court Meeting began back in November 2014 was a pretrial and Judge told me if I did not show up I would be Sentenced to 3 Months with NO Bail at before going to court I thought it would be the official trial. As the Court Case Progress there was a time where we were getting evidence and even how the Investigation really went down thanks to a great family friend that has been helping us who is a lawyer. So indeed the investigation involved which did include the victim and even how the investigation progressed over the Last 2 weeks before I was arrested. So The investigation was a lot different than I was expected and even how the Victim explained the identity and the time of the incident. It turned to be a lot different than I thought and I even thought there was a written report. So We eventually met with the Investigator and he asked me plenty of questions after paying the Investigator. Well I have been feeling a huge string of  hope and on top of that confidence that we may win this case as indeed I have feeling a little bit more better, but still tense and on my toes. So after Gathering all the evidence and even having a string of pre-trials as the case begins to drag as it develops awkwardly and very frustratingly, we finally got to the point where we officially had our hearing and after failing to have our hearing especially when the alleged victim was here and basically we had to hide and avoid contact and even My family had to protect me as well. Luckily there was not a point where we had to proceed with the case the victim had to be involved. There was a point where she almost see us but like I said It was great my family protected me from seeing her or even her mom. Well We came back a week later and then we finally had our hearing after having a delicious Lunch Break. One thing I did Learn from our Lunch Break is looking back when Our Family friend Lawyer Had to advocate for my mom when we were living in an Old Apartment that was taken over by a new company that was giving my mom a hard time. Seeing how The Lawyer was tough but fair. I remembered She told me The Reason She was Tough, but fair and the reason was in her words, "They were bullying your mom." Well It was good she shows how she fought back. Well As this is was the tip of the Iceberg of what to expect in court.....

20 Going on 30 (Part 3)

 Where the beginning of everything started?

I was arrested and eventually got driven to the Stoughton Police Station well this was a surprise I was composed and even nervous at the same time but I knew what the police was capable of and even at the same time hoping I could just return home back in 1 piece. Well we were far from that potential possibility so after the police station I was still in question of  why am I arrested or even what happened. Eventually I got driven to The School I was attending Massasoit Community College. So I was finally there and then I was forced to sit on the chair handcuffed and then Luckily I had to go to the bathroom handcuffed and then I saw more family members which were my brothers and then A family friend who is the daughter of my mom's Friend came to my aid and almost my whole family's aid. Who would have thought she would come all the way to the school I was going to and was handcuffed? Well I didn't and I was glad she was here seemed like The Cops were acting tough and I was threatened by them. Thanks to the Lawyer everything changed and the attitude completely changed. 

So What was the Outcome of the situation?

Well after the Lawyer got the information of what happened and why I was arrested finally came to light. Well the details of the situation did not really spill. So there Was a choice where I would return home or being temporary held into court. Well we did got the call and then the result was in and unfortunately I could not stay handcuffed to a chair. So when they finally got the call what should they do they had the decision what should they do well they the most painful choice for me and everybody and that was for me to be held in court. So I was going all the way To Plymouth to be in a facility and well it wasn't as bad but it was brutal I did had to stay overnight but I did get served breakfast in the morning and had to change my clothes and got back to the clothes I wore when I got arrested. So We drove back down as I was stuffed in the back and got driven back to the courtroom where there was a hearing where I should either go home or be held on Bail. So after I heard the report in detail of what happened and it hit me hard and it made my odds of me going home or even being held on bail. Well TV Crew Arrived and then the whole game changed as I seen the investigation was put on TV lead to my interview being put on Television. Oh! I cannot forget the previous guy that was arrested and put on Television and put on the Internet as well. So It took me way to long to even connect the dots. Well at that time I did not. I was in an emotional wreck after hearing about the incident in which I knew would upset my family members and it seemed obvious about something I was involved in on top of that. SO as The prosecutor spoke about the incident and the Attorney was advocating for me and I had to stand behind her and hide my face. Well cameras managed to get my face and because of the news they had to hit headlines even though they understood the incident and my challenges and also my past incident that was not on the school they tried to use against me. In Which was the incident in my apartment and apparently it was to no avail since charges were not being pressed. Well I was near home free as the one big incident where charges were being pressed as it served as the sole factor of their decision in which I had to return to the Correctional Facility and be held in $5,000 Bail. 

The Imprisonment

As myself being held have continued as I resumed staying in the facility. This was one of the most Merciless things to have ever happened. Hearing from my fellow inmates as they spoke on the cops and hearing other situations. One of the inmates got only $200 on bail after an incident with the cops on a ride home from a party and the other guy was held on a default. Well I was held on 3 charges and I was looked as the worst on them all because of an incident on campus. So As I was in the inmate room with many others and well I warmed up to them. At first I thought they would be unfriendly and dangerous and even violent, well it didn't turn out that way. Turns out they had other personal issues and I felt bad for a few of them. I now feel bad for myself too because The torture continue as I had to wear a burlap in a Locked room and then after I got spread on the News I had to wear handcuff and then even shackles on my feet as well. This was unbearable and just seeing how my torture was continued and the fact I was labeled was the worst it was very disgraceful and very disturbing. For me to go through all that and then get trapped in a cell after being in a burlap isolated it was completely brutal and then for my mom and other family members to be tormented as well. As I have been trapped there for nearly a full day as everybody in my family scrambled to get the money so I can get bailed out of jail and well eventually they did and as they Finally got the money and the intercom said "Renald Calixte!" As I responded "Yeah" and then they said I have been bailed out. I couldn't believe I had a big grin on my face and for me to have a huge feeling that they would be upset of what happened at school and well who can blame them? But they were nonetheless still happy to see me as well.  But As I was released it was still far from Over as Part 4 I will explain a ton more. 

20 Going on 30 (13 going on 30) Part 2

 The Continue of my Downfall

A lot of things have began when I end up having a lot of pride stirred up, and things have became so caught up with myself and apparently I didn't catch myself on what I was doing and then With The incident at the previous apartment I lived in, to not being able to return to school for another semester because of Unpaid Tuition and even jumping ship to a new school without informing or even talking to them about it to my mom and brothers. Well issues didn't stop there because there was the most unexpected situation that I was talked about before but would not expect to truly happen. Because Some things were under wraps and were prepared for some events. This was the event where the outcome turned out a lot different than planned and something I had no idea would ever happen. So Apparently because of this event this really changed my life at first it teared me down but it eventually shaped me up.

The Biggest Life changing event in my life 

So it happened on October 9, 2014 I got a call on Thursday Evening after coming from the gym. To get father in the deep rewind where the chips begin to fall down. So to build a deep rewind and something where I messed up not putting my guard up or even my awareness up. So it really cost me a lot and I am about to just begin to tell you how everything really began and the whole after effects of the situation. So how everything began was well there was a text that happened on a Friday September 19,2014. After seeing that text I was in defense mode even discussing this with my mom I lacked confidence as she brought up a previous incident that involved me. Indeed I was defensive if I were to go back and relieve those situations I would have said to myself, "My mom has a point asking me the question, but on Friday September 19 I was not there, I was somewhere else." The incident took place on Friday September 19 and I was nowhere near the school. On Monday September 22 there was the guy who got arrested and I did not keep my mom in the loop, and on top of that there was another incident that happened in the same exact place I was. I was on my high horse I did not sit down and think about the consequences of oh the arrest could happened to me and even look at the information was I there and the term "Indecent Assault and Battery" and the details of the incident when my mom asked the question when she got the text and even the house phone call of the incident. The fact that there was investigation being held, I was very nonchalant and nervous at the same time. My mom asked me about the second incident and I was thinking oh there was an "Indecent Assault and Battery" and thought it meant oh someone got beat up and I was not doing research and getting insight on the incident I was still on my defense and not willing to pay any attention to it and rumors spread about the situation and I did follow the he say she say nonsense. Never thinking would they think it was me.

To Explain further in the Deep Rewind

So as the weeks passed there was continued investigation going on that I had no idea was still continued and apparently there were more reports and even with other student interactions and it seems very unsettling what was going on behind the scenes and even more text messages and actually an unusual one as well. Apparently I kept going to school and going through the motions instead of being on my toes. Well anyway I always come home at a reasonable time and on top of that even meet up with our friends down in downtown Boston and sometimes be home late. But I would go to the gym once I get home sometimes in the eve and then on weekends in the morning at will. As I used to go out with just checking on my mom and I would be good to go. The move kinda threw me off due to The Limited Transportation it was hard for me to get around and some things I had no idea about other options to easily get around. So on October 9 2014 I would return to school but the portion of my class was an online class. Honestly I should have stayed home given to the fact that it was a hybrid Class So Due to the fact that it was hybrid there were weeks that we would meet face to face and other weeks where we would be doing assignments online. So On October 9, 2014 My only Class end up being an online course and on top of that before ended up going to class I hugged a student who I just met on the campus that end up running from me pretty quickly. Hard to tell but it was very bizarre but I continued to go about my day and did my online work and say hi to a friend I went to school with and even other students. Well I spend much my time there and eventually had lunch there as well and then I was planning to return to school the next day for Chess Club and then later that evening was going to be devotional at my Church. 

The Biggest Upside down Moment in my life

So As I was Going home I went and just did my normal Day chilled at home ate some Lunch and went to the gym and finally ate dinner and then after all that I got a call from The Massasoit Police and then Suspense was singing in my mind and wanted me to come straight down there immediately I told them I had no way of getting there I can come tomorrow and it seemed they agreed. They did not answer my question to Why they want me down there? Other than They only can answer the question in person. So where I messed up I did not tell my mom or my stepfather Massasoit wanted me down there. So I drunk some water and juice and some wine and then watched some NFL Football. As I was watching NFL Football I was a bit nervous tomorrow but I let it remained an ordinary evening and still thought going to the station tomorrow well I still had no idea something I would get through no matter what Happens. So The Moment in history came at around 9:50 PM as the doorbell rang and I was the one who answered and little I known it was the Police as they were sent to the house to arrest us and oh Man My Parents noticed and eventually my brothers noticed so I came out and then Got those Cuffs clicked on my hands and My Mom asked "What did he got arrested for?" Police was like "I don't know." I even said "I don't know." I was nervous I was caught with the Cuffs, I thought of the obvious possibilities on why I have been arrested and as My mom chased The Police as I was in the Car with Cuffs as they drove quick and This was THE BIGGEST LIFE CHANGING SITUATION.

How did I felt of this Situation? 

Well I am going to send a Part 3 of all of this and Get more detailed of how this situation really build a revolution in myself. Especially 'Specially Where at the time I had so many challenges within myself I needed a ton of Support. But one thing I was lacking was confidence and courage and humility. This situation really came crashing down and it was the beginning and was really hoping all of this was over but this situation of myself was far from over as I said it was just beginning. Well I will say this, this was a huge Impact even right from the start that I had 0 preparation for.
