Jail stories
wow! You can learn a lot hanging around the waiting room for visitation. I thought I was pretty smart as a general rule of thumb, but I didn't realize that justice wasn't about finding a person guilty or innocent, it is about politics and bonuses.
I have heard over and over again as I was visiting that if a proscecutor gets you take the first plea agreement they get a huge bonus and so they do their best to scare you into taking whatever they throw out on the table. This gives them brownie points I guess for settling another case and getting the case off the court books and of course it helps with the amount of money they bring home in their paycheck.
Does anyone know if this is true? I don't know if it is true of if it is just people talking, but all in all it makes sense to me. How horrible to have a job where you decide the fate of someones life by the amount of money you will get paid. Maybe all those bad lawyer jokes are true after all.
I am already learning what proscecutor names bring fear into peoples minds. I am praying that God will find us an attorney that will still take this case pro bono or at lease at a reduction of fees. Taking names and numbers people if anyone knows of anyone.
For that matter, maybe a good law student or investigator could help with my sons case.
I have also heard the longer they take on a plea or hold out on court, the harder it gets for them as well as if we do get him out on bond, the attorney generals office will find a way to stack more charges against him. Is this true? I am asking anyone...law student, attorney, etc.
