I'm a prosecutor and rather interested in victims rights. So, I had some questions about your experience with law enforcement.

How were you treated along the way? Were the police and the prosecution receptive of your claims? Were you in contact as the case went on? Did they ask for your input at critical stages such as bail, release, and the plea offer? Were you ever afforded a chance to attend or speak at any of the hearings? Was it ever explained what would be expected of you if the case proceeded to trial?

Also, harassment and stalking cases are often low on the radar. Most everyone has unwanted attention from another person at some point in their life so law enforcement has a lot of trouble sorting out the noise from the legitimate signals. In your case you had violent threats against you and the school. Did you feel the violent threats were a driving force in law enforcement involvement? In other words, if you had simply received unwelcome and unsettling, but otherwise unalarming, contacts do you think you your case would have received the same response?

I know I'm late to the party here, and I don't expect you to answer every question in detail. It would just be cool to glean your general experience with law enforcement, and any response is appreciated.

This might be a long shot. I know this topic is over 8 hours old at this point and you have more questions than you know what to do with. But there is a question that has burned in me since I watched some stock videos on the interment in high school.

One of the commentaries talked about how interns were fed rice with apricots and an apricot glaze as a dessert at one meal. Apparently from the commentary, this was extremely insulting because in Japanese cuisine no on would ever serve something so sweet on rice. I immediately thought, "Really? He lost his home and business and is disconnected from his family and what he was most worried about was the dessert they served?"

Ever since then I've just accepted it as simple propaganda to assuage the guilt over the internment (e.g. if all they had to complain about was dessert how bad could it be?). But still in the back of of my mind I wonder was mixing rice with sweets really offensive?

Obviously, this isn't a super serious question, and get to the ones that are before this. But if you or any of your family can comment on mine it would be appreciated.
