About

With disgust, a friend once complained that Scott Peterson had the gall to enter a “not guilty” plea at his arraignment (when the evidence suggested he was surely guilty). From then on, I realized there are a lot of things we criminal defense attorneys take for granted. The general public doesn’t know, for example, that attorneys almost always enter a not guilty plea. That’s what gives us the time we need to review evidence, investigate, strategize and negotiate. Many pleas are then changed when a case is concluded.

This blog seeks to educate both clients and the curious on the inner workings of the criminal justice system, from the perspective of an experienced criminal defense lawyer.
