Can somebody please help me find the right way to properly articulate why it is important that my attacker be convicted of the very provable felony she was charged with, instead of being allowed to make a plea deal to a misdemeanor that doesn't even cover what she actually did to me???

#this is beyond messed up #our system is really screwed up #and now also? despite they stole and damaged so much of my property and made me homeless like they directly did all this I've got so much #but instead of including any kind of restitution even just for the severe trauma and distress from this event in the sentencing #I'd have to hire my own lawyer to go after it in civil court? !except! !!i freaking! !can't afford a lawer because they stole from me? !?!?#I'm losing so much faith like seriously no justice? !?#and i can't even really fight bc when I get too empassioned when talking to them and telling all that's happened and etc #the whole 'mad woman' effect sets in like they think I'm just crazy or over emotional or something I'm like seriously. I'm giving you logic #and reason and fact based evidence but okay #there is so much bias. she is an old white lady and yeah I'm white too but disabled which sadly they've not met me in person and #when ppl hear 'disabled' they immediately think like mentally unfit or like crap like that and it's a really hard bias to try to overcome #i just #ugh #i have to speak with them again Monday and i really need help #i need to argue my case to them but without showing emotion so they don't think I'm just? ??#i watched 2 hours of AOC speaking and she's so good at walking that line she's firm and really hammers a point but with confident logic and #like half my problem is how shy and socially anxious i am so i get so nervous talking #this is just going so badly I am trying so hard but it's so hard to fight alone against such big monsters #helpbrynn #unpinned
