Great article Mike!

The real issue on why there are so many felons is- the D.A. will over charge a person and tempt them with a plea deal, which some public defends will not do their job and say that the deal is the best option, even when it's not. It's either go to jail or take this deal for "time served" or some type of probation.

I know a NON-felon who hadn't been in trouble in nearly two decades. Accuser lies. He gets arrested. Cop lies. With NO evidence, the D.A. tries to throw the book at him with an over charge felony. D.A. offers a plea. He says, "NO"(in sign language/bird)! 

Drags him back and forth to court for six months.. just to drop the case. Private prisons most love these mark a** D.A.s and cops!
