that is the risk you run for using up the DA's time. If they pleaded down then it would have saved the state a ton of money and the DA office a lot of time. You can't expect the same sentence if you don't plead down.

The DA has the burden of providing guilt.Not me. If anything, if I am in trial , I don't want the DA to have an easy time to throw me in prison. And if I was poor, my court appointed attorney wouldn't even know my name during the trial. frick the system.

So now "justice" is vengeance on a plaintiff for pissing off the government? Not for the actual law that was broken?

That sounds pretty fricked up to me. Know why? Because it says in the CONSTITUTION that every citizen has a RIGHT to a fair trial.

So you're saying we have a justice system that punishes people for exercising their RIGHTS? You know what, I believe you.

And if that doesn't worry you as much as it does me...
