Recent felony conviction

Defendant has absolutely no burden to prove innocence.

But when the defendant doesn't hold the prosecution to it's full burden, the system can't work for you.

He should have fought this. Attempt is related to intent. And intent cannot be proven without the defendant divulging the contents of his mind at some point.

 

Did you have an attorney? What did they say? Did someone in the car also have a weapon or did the driver attempt to get away from the cops? Why were you spread on the hood by 5 or 6 of them?

Asking an officer why you are being detained and asking questions about the charges isn't talkin' s..t.

 

Kirk, quit getting baited.

You have a felony, just get back to trying to find out who might hire you.

When the record shows a conviction, the public has a right to assume it is accurate and valid provided you've been offered a proper defense. This is our social contract with our justice system.

The other thing is that when/if you get an interview, they're going to want to hear genuine remorse from you and an indication that you've changed. There's not much you can do about this but swallow your pride and get on with it. This is no world for the falsely convicted and no one really understands the sytem until they've had the displeasure of experiencing it first-hand. People tend to assume if it looks at all like you did something that you absolutely did.

 

That's not what he said. He CLEARLY said is was a "small amount in someone's pocket".

 

As a retired federal DOT official do you really wish to know how many times I've heard that?

And another thing; where was the stuff anyway? First you say it was under the seat (which you should/could have probably seen), then you say it was in someones' pocket, then you say it's under the seat again.

 

As a retired board of the state.(lol,lol). I would like to say that there are alot of people working in the criminal justice system that commit felony's everyday and actually get away with it...and it is a problem and very sickening...

I have met my fare share of so called ''public servants'' do some very ''evil'' things in my day in the ''system''...

I am not pointing at you,just trying to see both sides..

Give the man a break,we all screw up just like the people i watched for years on the ''other side'' claiming ''self rightous'' and covering for each other as they committed there crimes with a ''badge on''....

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm interesting..

 

The best thing he could of done, was not even mention he is a convicted felon. I went to school, and on the first day of school,this one guy asked this "I was convicted of possession of a controlled substance, with intent to sell. I also served 7yrs of 15 yr sentence, but will anyone still hire me?" The safety/training director, who is a friend of my family, said "sure, but your going to have to knock down a awful lot of doors". Needless to say he never showed up for school again..

 

Very true....Do not say a word....Plead the 5thhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.lol,lol
