He was granted a FUCKING CONTINUENCE!
A new witness was presented today and asked to testify. His lawyers claimed they did not know about this new witness and that they were un prepared for it. They also said that the new witness's testimony is devistating to their case (translation: they never thought I would take the case this far and now they are scared shitless because there will be a jury and the case is no longer a he said/she said case).
The continuence was granted. I have to come back to Boston and be in court on Spetember 13th. FUCK!!!! I really thought it would all be over today and I could go on with my life. When I heard the Judge grant the continuence I sobbed so loudly that everyone heard and I had to leave the court room.
So much for putting it all behind me eh?
Can you beleive that his lawyers tried to offer me money not to testify this morning? I thought of all of you who encouraged me these past few days, and I couldn't take it.
Thanks again guys
Sorry about not explaining what a continuence means exactly. All it means is that instead of going through with the trial today as planned, the defense has given a valid enough reason to delay the trial until september 13th. Which means I can't put this all behind me like I had planned.

Thank you, by the way.
i'm so impressed at how strong you are, i know for sure i wouldn't be able to go through with all that. a few years ago i was date-raped, and dealing with the guilt was so difficult for me that i didn't end up prosecuting the guy at all. now, i wish i had been strong enough to deal with it, to face all the questions and accusations and to make sure he didn't get away with it. but i didn't. i couldn't. so you should be so immensely proud of yourself for being a good, strong wonderful person and making sure this creep gets what's coming to him.
i wish i had known you were in boston too - we totally could have hung out and done fun things. to eachother. (is it wrong to flirt with you after talking about rape, because i really don't mean to come off creepy).
anyway, you are awesome and wonderful and strong and beautiful and will be fine.
