well.

It's good to know that there are countries out there who don't even bother to act like the rights of the accused are protected.

Unfortunately, if you're poor and in the United States, you have little chance of maintaining your rights.

Don't believe me? spend a couple days in a big cite D.A.'s office with prosecutors who work the misdemeanors and low-level felonies - just about everybody pleads to a "lesser" charge, even though there may be little evidence to convict.

Be careful out there.
