Frolics and Detours, who I mention in my previous post, has posted an update on her (his?) trial.

The jury deliberated and came back with good questions twice. My client was facing 1-10 years in prison. She had previously been offered the minimum in a plea deal. I previously told her to plea because her case was so crappy. Well, our arguments went over pretty well b/c we got a guilty verdict on the misdemeanor lesser included charge. She got sentenced to about half of what she would have gotten had she pled originally. Now that’s a win!!!

Congratulations! Spread the word.
