If
Accused... Once
Arrested Don't Speak without an Attorney Present. This helps prevent you from
putting your foot in your mouth and keeps the police and prosecution on the straight-and-narrow.
Get
Real. Your freedom is at risk. You face an uphill battle. You are facing a
prosecutorial juggernaught with a long memory and deep pockets. ...sometimes prodded
by the victim. The prosecuting attorney assigned your case is paid--not to understand
or like you--but to gain a conviction. Don't
Fight the Evidence. The prosecution usually believes it has the necessary
evidence to convict you before they charge you. But if the evidence is weak we
may be able to get the charges dropped or diminished. On the other hand, if we
learn the evidence against you is strong and lawfully acquired, it may be wise
for you to plead guilty to reduced charges. Prosecutors
Are Not Unreasonable. Most prosecutors listen to reason. They often lessen
the charges when they hear a compelling argument that either casts doubt on their
ability to convict or convinces he/she that you are a good person who did something
out of character. Plea
Bargains Rely on Trust. You may be guilty and not want to risk a trial. In
exchange for a minimum sentence you may want to plead guilty. Saving the government
the time and expense of trial may be your only bargaining chip. If you find yourself
in this situation, 1) you need to be represented by an attorney who is well regarded
and trusted by the prosecution and 2) knows what to ask for and what to expect. |
