I cannot begin to tell you (well I guess I am now) about how much fantastic information Mark Bennett puts up on his blog about the art and science of criminal defense. Even if you aren’t interested in the practice or curious world of criminal defense he has just posted a trifecta of criminal law triage that you have absolutely no business not committing to memory and sharing with anyone you know.

In a world where information is power, knowing just a few things (like your rights!) might go a long way to not being in a 8 x 10 cell (if you’re lucky) and having a gorilla named Bubba be your ‘husband’.
I know many of you are thinking, “Oh I’ll never need this” but you will be surprised how many honest people, who have done nothing wrong, can become collateral damage in a prosecutorial agenda.

Thanks for the link, Shannon. I tell everyone I give a business card to: you’ll probably never need me, but I guarantee that somebody you know will.

“Collateral damage”–that’s a good way to put it.
How often do we run into such situations?. Just by being in the wrong place iat the wrong time with the wrongperson can put you in dire straits.
And, when you top off such situations with “legal” crime, you have a double sized disaster.
