You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.
An attorney has the responsibility of providing the best possible defense for his client and to zealously protect the client. Sometimes, the best course of action for an attorney who knows that the evidence shows that the client is guilty is to negotiate the best possible plea.
