Talk about the judge... She decided on my defense. The prosecuting attorney wanted me to be convicted of assault of a Sr Citizen = 5 years of prison. The judge did not think I deserved this and sentenced me with assault in a public way + felony + 30 months probation. And in the end, I'm a better productive citizen because of her leniency. I used my 4 years of unemployed time to retrain myself with my SSDI money, and now I have great paying jobs and pay taxes.
If I did 5 years prison, I would have been less skilled and it would have been harder for me to get a job because companies don't like prison time in your history. I probably would have been a very long term SSDI money sucking burden too.
Oh, I've told the truth about my felony on many job applications, and on jobs that they were about to instantly hire me on the spot. Result? They walk you out of the door!
And some people deserved to get decked and punched out, ... like Alienator.
