However judge only allowed me to answer his question my truthful answerconvicts me I had disproved her statements in response manipulating me easily my reaction to a planned and provoked scenario Under threat of contempt I was forbidden to speak, ask questions regardless He had allowed prior case defendants way more response time. I suspect a possible bias annoyed by my stress related behavior anxiety and fear friends had come help talking tocalm me Presiding(not judge)lawyer bias related ruling unfair.Do victimsof violence gloat to pals of abuser?

Once the tro has been ordered it is very difficult to get it set aside. Gather all of the paperwork and consult with an attorney regarding your options.
