All over this country, prison cells are filled with innocent people falsely convicted for crimes they did not commit, and many of them will spend the rest of their lives regretting the day they agreed to talk to the police.

No hyperbole there, no agenda either, I'm sure.

Actually, no, there is no hyperbole there. And even if there is, when it is YOUR future we’re talking about, just a few cases are enough to put the fear of God into you about this.

I like what an attorney quoted by Fred Reed said: “If you ever enter a courtroom as a defendant in a criminal case, your true guilt or innocence will have very little to do with the actual verdict.”

I agree, he diminished his otherwise good advice by sticking in that obvious exaggeration.

It's true. Just ask those who fill the prison cells... they'll tell you.

Time for you to wake up and smell the coffee.

Very few people in prison today have gotten a trial. The US “justice” system, exceeding the Nazi courts in their conviction rate, gives people a choice of pleading guilty or having outrageously draconian sentences imposed on them in these mockeries of trials where the judge and prosecutor are often good friends - and unless you’re wealthy enough to afford a good lawyer (95% of Americans aren’t), that’s your choice. Whether you are guilty or not.
