If your inoicent your should never plea bargain.

Tell that to Buz. He bought a pistol from his folks paper boy (a young
adult) who claimed his dad had died and his mother needed the $$$ to keep
him in school.


If Buz had a friend that was willing to pay to get him a lawyer then
perhaps Buz would still have a clean record.

In the American system you need money to be heard.

Buz I suspect was using a court appointed stooge to repesent him.

Gun turned out stolen but since the value was questionable
the prosecutor offered to let him plead to a misdomeanor. Buz refused.


Buz is a man of princapals. I respect that.


He'd
known the paper boy for years, had paid a fair price, and had witnesses.
Didn't matter. He was charged with a felony and police had a half dozen
burgulars swear he was their fence - in return for dropping charges against
the actual thieves! He got a minimum sentence because his record was
spotless.


What happened here Vito is the American system.
Money talks Bull**** walks.
Buz shifted the burden to the man.
The man makes his bucks keeping buzz locked up.
If buz took the burden(cost) to prove he is indeed innoicent.
Then the man would have a much much harder time swatting buzz.
It might cost Buzz lots of Jack!
But thats the facts.. feels like crap.

But buzz could be free to visit the Paper boy.
Roll up a newspaper.. SMACK SMACK SMACK
Make More Jack, Free to Buz about.





That's American Justice Maryland style. You could be next ....


Wanna Bet? Just keep clean, collect records, reciepts ect. And if you
do something a little shady you better plan for the worst.
