[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 552112, member: 59"] Rumpole, You are making assumptions again, this time about our legal system. Yes our public defenders are overworked but that's about the only thing I will agree with you on. Public defense attorneys will not just try to get you to plead guilty. It is their job to review the evidence and consult with everyone involved and if the evidence is strong enough, make the best deal possible for their client. In many states here if there is an underlying problem of drugs, which there often is in the case of theft from an employer, the case gets sent to drug court where they are best able to deal with the issue. The defendant may be required to go to treatment, which I know you don't agree with, and restitution made to the employer. In any case Pam's son is an adult and his drugs are causing serious probelms in his life. Getting him out of this offense will in no way help him stop using drugs. Nancy [/QUOTE]
