His attorney should be sued for malpractice. He probably tried to cheap out and use the court appointed lawyer.
Here is a hint: If you go to court for ANY reason, hire the best attorney available, cost not a consideration. All court cases can result in loss of freedoms that you can never get back. Yes , even that speeding ticket you got last week in Fla.[/QUOTE]
This is all well and good, but you're making a facetious argument.
You have scores of people that don't have money. You have lots of young kids that were raised by a mother with an absent father. A youthful indiscretion committed by a naive 17 year old can be a death sentence.
These kids end up in the system and then before their working career begins, they have a felony and cannot pass a background check. For them it's like a rodent on a treadmill. That's probably a contributing factor in the citizens of the United States consuming over 80 percent of the world's opioids.
When people commit a crime, if we're going to make arguments for this second class citizenship, why not execute felons upon conviction? It would be much cheaper and humane. AND there would be no pretext for trashing the Fourth Amendment with unconstitutional background checks.
