Attorney saved me from 5 Years of jail

After my lawyer told me to accept the 5 years of jail as a plea bargain for something I did not do, a friend recommended that I go see Attorney Andre Cayo because she said "He will help you. They falsely arrested him and he might be able to help you because he went through the same thing..." After ...I told my story to Attorney Cayo, he said he could beat the case if I could help him gather the evidence to support my story. I cried every time I went to Court because I said "How could I be facing 20 years for something I didn't do and why they want me to do at least 5 years?" All the while Attorney Cayo told me to pray that we get the evidence and everything was going to be OK. Attorney Cayo told me not to worry and that the way to beat the system is to actually prove your innocence and not wait for the so-call "Innocent until proven guilty". Attorney Cayo took my case in September, this past February 2014, he got the case dismissed after gathering evidence of my innocence and filed a motion for SPEEDY TRIAL (he basically told them to bring it on). Yes, he had to do the police work. He had to listen to the 911 calls they never cared to listen to, he had to find witnesses. No, he did not rely on the scientific investigation and circumstantial evidence of the police on which they relied to charge me with crimes. Thank you Cayo.
