“Yup.. my son was busted for three felonies for basically sitting on his front stoop...”
This is why the American justice system scares me.
Anybody who thinks you will get "justice" in our current system is out of their freaking minds...
You need a shark eating attorney to protect your interests...
The system is rigged to generate monies to cover the cost of the courts, jails, public defenders and etc...your innocence is a far distance priority...
Even minor offenses will cost you some serious jack to keep you away from the jackals looking to suck the life out of you to keep you in the system...hoping you slip up a little so they can slam the hammer down again...
