[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every case is different.  I have had a range of results.  Sadly, the vast majority result in conviction because so many people agree to make statements and incriminate themselves.  I have been able to get many of them to misdemeanors with jail.  Some clients have been convicted of felonies and that sucks.  One thing to remember is that a common police tactic is to do what is called a sting call -- they have the complaining witness call the accused and start a conversation about the event.  Many, many, many, many times the subject of the call apologizes or agrees with the complaining witness that they were asleep.  That is harder to avoid -- you have to be pretty savvy not to fall for it.  Then the police usually ask the person to come in voluntarily to "clear the air" and it rarely goes well.  [/quote]

It sounds like you're describing situations where the defendant has admitted to engaging in the behavior that the charge is based on.  Shouldn't people be punished when they have committed a crime?
