Dream of:
28 November 1988 "Shoplifted Scissors"I had been appointed by a judge to defend a woman who had criminal charges against her. I had already talked with the woman once by telephone, and now I needed to talk with her again. I looked for her phone number on a piece of paper on which I had made notes concerning her case. I saw a number written here a couple of times, but I didn't think it was her number. But since it was the only number I had have, I dialed it.
I waited for the phone to ring, but it never did. However it sounded as if someone was on the other end. I said something and a female voice answered. I asked who it was and quickly found out it was the woman I was wanting to talk with.
She quickly began telling me that right now she only had $15 for my attorney's fees and she would send it to me soon. I interrupted her and told her I wasn't calling about my attorney's fees, but was calling to learn about the facts of her case. After I spoke speak with her for a few moments, it became clear that she was confusing me with another lawyer, and that she must have another case pending.
After a short discussion I learned that she had been charged with theft due to a shoplifting incident. I asked her what she had stolen, and she told me it was a pair of
scissors. I thought think I might be able to win her case. It would depend on whether anyone actually saw her take the scissors.I asked ask her what her other charge was. Apparently it was in Kileen, Texas. She told me it was the same charge: shoplifting. I concluded that she must have been doing a lot of shoplifting.
I now spoke about my fee and asked her if she could send it to me. She said she didn't have it right now. I told tell her that if she didn't have it at the time we went to court, the judge could put her in jail. My fee was $150.
