Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas
My 14 year old son was frightened into taking a plea deal. He was told if he went forward to trial they would try him as an adult insead of a juvenile. My son has NO prior record and he has been in detention for three months with excellent behavior. the officers that transport him have also remarked on his polite and respectful behavior, in fact they do not even cuff him anymore durng transport!My qustion is this, I know I will not change the deal but I wanted to send the judge a letter to let him know my son is not the monster the alleged victims claim he is and that the punishment that he will receive is reserved for the worst repeat offenders which he is not. How ethical or even practical would writing the letter be?

Go ahead and write the letter. It won't make any difference, though.
