Tuesday Legal Brief

Here's a quick "legal brief" for ya...


perp charged with possession of crack, the state offers to recommend probation, no jail time if she pleads guilty and opts out of trial (at a trial she can get up to 8 years if found guilty), she has given a "confession to the cops" but she doesn't think she has confessed and doesn't think she has done anything wrong...


perp: I told them I had smoked all my crack right before they got there (confession here)

me: blink

perp: so the rest of the crack that was sitting there wasn't my part, it belonged to the other guy that was smoking crack with me... (continuation of the confession here)

me: blink

perp: so I'm not pleading guilty, Imma go to trial (and promptly go to jail)

me: blink

perp: what? why you lookin' at me like that?

me: did you get high this morning?

perp: giving me a toothless smile...no response
