BossmanJack's appearance in court this morning was a quick one.
While being lead into the court in his orange jumpsuit and shackles with the other prisoners, Austin scanned the court room, searching for his Father, Mother, or any kind of support. Though he searched desperately he found none. Not even his Lawyer was present for his hearing.
Austin looked very gaunt, with his former "fade" haircut grown out but not yet wild like before, with a pube-beard growth of not shaving for 2 weeks. Though other prisoners had no issue walking into the court room, Austin seemed to struggle under the weight of the handcuffs he was in, shoulders deeply hunched under their weight, making his 6 foot frame nearly 4 inches shorter. He looked as if he hadnt eaten in a week, not slept in twice as long.
When the judge called his case, Austin shuffled up to the stand, again scouring the courtroom for anyone who was there to help him. He truely seemed as if he didnt know no one would be showing up. When greeted by the judge he responded so meekly the judge repeated himself.
The judge then stated that the case would be moved one week to November 14 when his attorney would be available. What seemed like a summarily given scheduling matter hit Austin by utter surprise. When the Bailiff grabbed Austin's arm and gently pulled to escort him back to holding, he blurted out "I'm not getting a bond?".
The judges simple reply "No. No bond." Austin was then taken back to holding. No reading of charges, no updated details etc.
