Bill Cady, The Early Years … by Bill Cady 289 CHAPTER SEVENTEEN By my age seventeen I‟d already learned a little bit about the court system, both civil and criminal. The civil side sucked, from my point of view. My leg was so badly damaged in the accident I wasn‟t ever expected to walk again. At all. Then, when I fooled the doctors and started walking, I wasn‟t ever supposed to walk properly. I handled that part, too. I was expected to be in pain the rest of my life. That prediction was right on the money, and still is, forty years later. My parents shelled out a lot of money in medical expenses, most of which was never reimbursed. Mom thought the lawyer we hired sold out on us, and her argument made some sense when the final tallies were in. The settlement was a grand total of $12,000.00, with the lawyers taking five-grand and my folks getting the seven-grand remainder. Leviticus, Limited 33-0505963
Bill Cady, The Early Years … by Bill Cady 290 Me? I didn‟t get squat, but there wasn‟t much I could say about it. After all, they fronted all the money and helped me get through it, so I just let the entire idea go and went on about my life. The criminal system was just about as silly as the civil side. Between my ages sixteen and twenty-one, I was arrested twenty-two times. The charges were never anything to be concerned about, at least, not individually. Minor in possession a few times, public intoxication, and drunk driving, (a ticket offense back then), made up my “criminal background”. Even a drunk driving charge only meant seven hours, or less, in the drunk tank. If the jailing officer felt you were sober enough after four or five hours, he‟d let you go with an O.R. release, (Own Recognizance). It always meant a court date, where I‟d plead guilty and pay a hundred dollar fine. That was it. Done. There were, however, a few things they didn‟t nab me for. One had to do with my summer job when I was seventeen, the year after the accident. I hired on as the $1.50 per hour “extra guy” working for a builder named Don Govan. I worked along with Lupe Delapaz, his property manager, doing yard work, general chores, running errands, and finally at job sites. I was even allowed to drive the ‟64 Ford pickup, black with a V-8 and “three on the tree”, home some weekends. Of course, an hour or two after I got home, my friends and I were at a beer store stocking up. We had a ride, and I had money to drink, since my job paid the monumental sum of $60.00 for a full week‟s work. Of course, beer was $1.25 per six-pack, so it all worked out nicely.
