While you are in jail, you may be visited by a public defender. This person
is paid by the State to defend you against the State's charges. Is this person
impartial? No, it is impossible. This person is being paid by the same people
who put you in jail. In jail, I heard story after story of public defenders
selling their clients down the river.
One day the guard announced I had a visitor. You won't know who your visitor
is until you see him. When I arrived at the visitors' area, I was greeted by a
public defender who had been assigned to my case.
"Well, how are we going to save you from this mess you're in," he began.
"Let's not talk about me. Let's talk about a client of yours named Robert. I
wrote a letter pleading with you to consider Robert's innocence. All you could
do was write back a snappy note saying, 'I can never remember, is it one if by
land and two if by sea, or the other way around?'
"A man's life was being destroyed by a wicked court system and all you could
do was joke about my name."
The public defender agreed that Robert was innocent, but still felt
justified. "Robert was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Maybe he needed to
learn a lesson."
"Yes, but he was innocent and you did nothing to vindicate him. He did not
even get a day in court. You persuaded him to plea bargain away his freedom and
now he is stuck in a prison camp for who knows how many years."
I don't know if this lawyer felt any shame for what he had done, but at least
he was told.
When you go to jail, you are on a mission to save others. Don't say, "Look
what they are doing to me. Look how I am being violated." Focus on saving
others, and you will be saved. Get it out of your head that the court system is
fair or that there is any justice. These people are out to make a profit by
prosecuting. They don't really care about what is right or wrong or whether you
are innocent or guilty. They merely want to make merchandise of you.
