I did not get a call telling me to come to the courthouse at 14:00. I did get a call just before 15:30 from the prosecutor telling me that the guy who totaled my car had been found guilty and sentenced to sixty days in jail, the maximum sentence for what he was charged with.
She also said that the photos I took, which I gave her a copy of on CD last month and which she printed out and introduced as evidence this afternoon, were a major factor in convincing the judge to impose the maximum penalty. Apparently they were the difference between "okay, some cars got damaged," and "wow, those cars are crushed".
So even though my presence was not required today, I feel like I did my part.

I'm guessing he was not charged with discharging a firearm?

You sure did do your part. Congratulations.
Your evidence couldn't have happened to a nicer sack of protoplasm.

Does this mean you (or your insurance) can sue the bastard in civil court?

And he was just found guilty "beyond a reasonable doubt". Can you spell slam dunk? (IANAL).
A better question is "Will the SOB show up"?.

So what about damages? Do you get a crack at that, at least to recover your deductable?

Shame it can't be more than sixty days, though.
