kdog, in hindsight, now that you've had some time to reflect, what would you have done differently, if anything? Was there a more favorable outcome than the one that happened, and if so, how do you think you could have reached it?

How did they know you were there? Did they spot your vehicle near the road and follow you down? Any idea if this was a first time thing for them or did they seem like they were more organized? Did you ever suspect they were going to attempt robbery prior to them requesting your wallet?


I know this isn't a legal sub-forum, but..

For them to bring a suit for any kind of emotional distress would require an expert witness, such as a psychologist or other doctor, to provide that diagnosis. Which means time and money from the kids and their parents to see the specialist, plus a lawyer to take the case after they plead guilty to attempted robbery (or a reduced misdemeanor depending on the bargain). I'm no lawyer, but that seems like a long shot. I can't see many doctors putting themselves out on a limb in that situation.

kdog doesn't have much to sue for either, perhaps something stemming from denial of access to public fishing areas, nightmares, I don't know. More hassle than it's worth, and filing any kind of suit exposes him to coutersuit, and compromises his personal security as his full information would be entered into the public record.

Likely the judge will make it tough on the kids and the parents, especially if it's their first time. Make it something they don't easily forget, and that's the end of it.
