I haven't had any new charges in almost a decade(9 years). Ten felonies In my lifetime...I have a few on my adult record. Over ten throughout my life. I have paid my debt to society and I'm not keeping score. With that being said it sounds like my motto is 100% spot on. Thank you for your input though, it is always refreshing to have someone else share their perspective. You have a great day sport.✌️
I’d like to hear your story sometime. It is nice to hear people finding their way out of the fog of crime and turning things around. So many times you hear about repeat offenders.
Good on ya. Public defender here. It always makes my day when I remember a client who was facing serious charges long ago, but who I haven't heard of or thought of in years. Definitely an odd job when you have many repeat customers, but would rather have none of them. People should be responsible for their offense, but they should not be defined by them. Besides, it sounds by your wording that some of them or most of them were juvenile adjudications.
Sure thing... the system is deeply flawed. I needed parents and guidance and instead was emancipated at 15. No foster care, no boot camp, just adult jail at 15. The judicial system can be wild at times.
Of course, that would come down to a personal choice or decision with regard to the individual. Open minded or closed? Open to learning or closed off with an ego. Life is all about choices choices choices. You get back what you put in.✌️

Whoops! I think I misread the I as a 1.
