I know who posted this and am not surprised. I would like to inform the public that this individual was a habitual felon which means his penalty range was 25 years to LIFE in prison. This means that best case scenario, upon conviction, he would have received a minimum of 25 years. The State's first offer was 20 years in prison. I negotiated it down to two years. He did not want to do any jail time. With his consent--because you must have the client's consent--we did an open plea. This means that we put on witnesses and made a case for probation. He would not have been eligible to receive probation from a jury. Much to the State's surprise and our relief, the judge gave this individual 5 years of probation. By any account, someone who is looking at 25-LIFE who ends up with no prison time whatsoever should be pleased. It was a great outcome and one I am very proud of. The client paid less than 1/4 of his fee and due to his later expressed anger I declined to accept his offer to pay me "what he thought I had earned." I simply wrote it off. To this day I do not understand his displeasure but I do hope the public will look at the facts and make up their own minds. This client got a great outcome, and he is with his family and able to raise his small children because of my efforts. And I sleep very well at night knowing that.
