  • Remorse and readiness to comply with the investigation is also factored into sentencing guidelines.

    I seem to remember that CA embellished various things and also showed no remorse at all, according to the judge.

    It might seem weird at first to consider that remorse might lead to a shorter sentence but prison isn't just about punishment, it is also about protection of the public and somebody who demonstrates remorse is less likely to be a repeat offender.

  • Enter my law office, and on my walls, above my desk, staring and glaring at my clients, is a stuffed, six-foot steel blue Marlin. Below the fish is a plaque that reads: “Behold the beautiful, majestic Marlin. He would not be here if he had not opened his mouth.”

    See also Charlie. The best free legal advice you can get is to just shut up.
