Mistake

In 1995 I had been the victim of racial-profiling in New Jersey (prior to Rodney King and the "Driving While Black" being popular in Lexicon). A businessman with great credibility with the church, commercial vendors and clients; when I approached Mr. Powell regarding my case he assured me that it cou...ld be won and I paid him what he asked (which was not cheap). On the day of my court hearing Mr. Powell sent someone who I'd never met to tell my father and I that I should "keep my mouth shut and say nothing" and eventually would plead me out to "Assaulting a police officer" (after I had the crap beaten out of me); to which I am dealing with not only long-term physical effects (torn rotator cup w/ severe arthritis) and legal effects (another crooked county's sheriff seeing this charge thought he could get away with a false warrant, arresting me on a false felony charge which they had to drop). It was my first time getting in trouble with the law, and I had an impeccable record of honesty and decency in my community, Mr. Powell should have done what I paid him to do instead of "pleading me out." Apart from the day when I met him, Mr. Powell never had a meeting with me, he never used my references, and this catastrophic decision to feed me to the justice system has caused me to be labeled and taken advantage of. I've also suffered post-traumatic stress from the incident. He may have moved on, but he left my life in a nightmare even after all these years.
