Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ability to prove one's innocence SHOULD NOT DEPEND on how much money the defendant has. TRUTH should not be something that is bought. And yet, money is far too often what makes the difference between a successful legal defense, and prison time. If you have been arrested, the bad news is that the court will appoint a lawyer for you. This is not good news because the court pretends that as long as you have a lawyer, justice will be served. But a court-appointed attorney typically does more harm than good. This book explains why, and what to do about it. TRUTHS THAT THE SYSTEM WOULD PREFER YOU DIDN'T KNOW Would you believe that, given the choice between keeping you out of prison for ten years or saving himself a few hundred dollars, a court-appointed attorney will choose the money virtually every time? Yes, ten years. Or that at least ten thousand Ohio inmates would not be in prison today if Ohio courts correctly applied the law? Yes, ten thousand. OUR JUSTICE SYSTEM IS BROKEN, AND THERE'S NO MONEY TO FIX IT This book shows one man's walk through a dysfunctional justice system, and the author gives it to you straight, like no attorney could without putting his license in jeopardy, and like no one else could who hasn't lived it. If you have been arrested and don't know what to do, this book will help you find the answers you seek; get cooperation from your court-appointed attorney; keep the system from violating your rights; get excessive charges removed from the indictment; file motions in the courts; and process your appeals. It's the must-have book for the twenty-first century.
