Just left court. First offer 10 years, do 5.. UPDATE: Dismissed.

[Benefited]

Make sure your lawyer is really for you too,if not defend your damn self. If I'm going down I would be talking to the jury directly and telling them why the case is some pure bullshyt. And just telling the truth,if you are completely innocent,and not guilty by association or involved in any way, I don't see how people could need a lawyer.

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

Take the deal.

 

[Nemesis]

If you didn't do it take that shyt to trail..don't plea to some shyt that you didn't do

If you did it......take the plea

as someone thats been on trial a few times one point I will say is that its not about whether you are innocent or guilty

its about what you know verses what you can prove .... Thats what every court case comes down to

from experience police will lie on the stand if they dont have a strong case , even if there is no evidence to back up their lies they will lie.... because your average jury member will believe a policeman who serves his community over someone in a witness box "why would a policeman lie"

plus a lot of defence lawyers simply arent that good ......

Im not going to tell you what to do, all Im going to say is think with your head and not your heart

 

[Brolic Scholar]

At this point, look into the details of the deal and if there are no hidden clauses or bullshyt, take it.

 

[Bolzmark]

If you're guilty any way this might not be a bad deal. If you're completely innocent, remember the judicial system is inherently racist. Be sure you're confident about the judge you're appearing in front of as well. Unofortunately it appears you have a terrible lawyer. Must be a public defender.

Good luck.

Time served on a misdemeanor down from a felony that carries 20 years and you think his lawyer is “terrible”?

 

[FaTaL]

OP

A good lawyer would know what’s going on with the prosecutions case, there job is to snoop around. I hope your not paying her too much.

I understand this, but that misdemeanor they want to him to plea to will stay on his record and will pop up on a background check....I'm not about to plea out to something I didn't do.

Dude said he didn't do nothing..but he is in a fukked up spot now

The detective already did this weak ass shyt during preliminaries, which is why I got indicted.

He cut parts from an interview then finessed words. He lied about times. On top of it, he "found" a random kitchen knife in the area of this alleged attack, when clearly the victim described something else in the report.

I don't even carry blades and knives. That's some white shyt A. And B. Who the fukk actually lurks at night stabbing homeless people?

This whole ordeal was just some bullshyt. I can't even work hard and just mind my business in peace. Smh

I've been railroaded before, it sucks. Hopefully you get a decent jury. Good luck with your case, broham.

Shorty fought for me and she's a young black lawyer. She never bullshyted me or gave me false hope. Kept in contact, did her own investigation, and interviews. Most of the motions were granted too.

OP

I owe her my life. She gave me realistic advice and percentages. She told me she would take care of me from the jump. Her mentor, an older black woman, also spoke with me. I'm satisfied with their work.

I was originally facing 40+ years. 5 felony charges breh.

 

[Da King]

That avi to post correlation

Good luck g

I went to court today. I was told to come back Thursday for jury selection. I got a call a couple hours later from my lawyer to ask if I'd accept misdemeanor reckless conduct, time served. Case closed.

I told her let me think about it and what's the odds for a complete dismissal. She said at this point they're not offering that, but if I still want to take the risk to let her know by Thursday.

I know it's a good "deal".

Advice?... I need the dismissal so I can get all the stories and mugshots removed from the internet

You don't need the dismissal, with no prior violent crime history and this being your first misdemeanor you can likely get the conviction expunged from your record either after your probationary period or after a state approved period of time. However, some violent misdemeanors are wobblers in the sense that they are treated as quasi-felonies and are more difficult to expunge depending on the state.

This is typically 5 years depending on the state you are in. A misdemeanor conviction, depending on the nature and severity, can inhibit your employment prospects. Misdemeanors in many states are not asked to be disclosed on a job application. A felony in the vast majority of cases will prevent you from even getting looked at. A misdemeanor is an exponentially more favorable outcome for future career prospects.

A felony follows you for life. There is no escaping it. I know pride is a factor here, and you truly believe you are 100% innocent. You can continue to fight this, however the deal on the table will be off. The state will burn through more resources, and the judge will far less forgiving if a guilty verdict is handed down.

You may have a solid defense, however trials consist of a lot of fukkery and innocent people are convicted in this country all the time. You are at the mercy of a jury of your fellow citizens not without their biases, and subsequently the compassion of a judge who is likely tired of this being dragged out.

You mentioned the initial worst case scenario was 5 felonies and a maximum of 40 years in prison. Your attorney got it down to a misdemeanor with time served. Right now, if you walk away, you are guaranteed your freedom.

If you choose to go back into this fire, you cannot retreat. You may not be pleased with the results.

Sounds like you have good legal counsel.

So why are you in here getting advice from brehs that watch WSHH on a daily basis.

Listen to this guy and move on with your life bro. Trust me the gamble isn't worth it, and the system is against you on this one. Take the time served and the M and get it expunged down the line. Keep it moving

 

[RicanFury]

that M with time served for disorderly misconduct? no probation bullshyt? fukk it take it. that type of charge could be anything looking from the outside. pissing on cars outside a bar, street fight, etc. looks more like a maturity thing from the outside rather some real shyt. take it and move on if the situation is as is.
