Power Of The District Attorney
Be Nice, They Can Play Hard Ball Or Soft
Ball.
Can The Police Really Put In A Good Word
To The District.Attorney?
"Help Us To Help You'"
Although I can't make any promises, if you
cooperate with us, I'll put in a good word
to the District Attorney on how helpful you
were. It may help with your own charges."
I am sure you have heard this statement on
TV...... or maybe in real life.
So, can they put in a "good word"
to the District Attorney?
Sure they can. ....
So what can they offer you if you do cooperate?
They can write in their reports how helpful
you may have been. Could be in helping them against yourself
or with another case.
Remember, giving them information against
you helps them in their case against.....
you.
The more you talk, the more new charges they
probably can think up to bring against you.
Something to think about in regards to that
Right To Remain Silent suggestion.
But Wait! "Why Wouldn't I Say Something
About Another Crime That I Have Information
About, If Doing So Might Help Me With My
Own Case?"
Well, I never said don't say anything. I
just said... don't discuss it with the Police.
It is the District Attorney's decision on
what to do about your charges... not the
Police! No matter what the Police say in
your behalf, the District Attorney can chose
to ignore it. ( lets think about this...
how hard are the Police going to go, to attempt
to change anything about your case? ) I believe
the phrase "I can't make any promises"
just about explains that.
So how do you get your information to work
for you?
You remain silent and wait for your Attorney!
If you have information that might help in
a crime you may know about, give that information
to your Attorney, not the Police!
If you have to wait until one is appointed,
I still suggest you wait.
Your Attorney will do your talking for you
to the District Attorney. They will see what
the District Attorney will want to offer
you for that information. Your Attorney can
get a better "deal" than the Police.
My Final Thought
I do not have a comment board on this site as yet. My intention was to blog this information but I quickly realized that this information would be no good in segments. I believe everything needs to be available at once. However, I also need to be sure that what I write about, is Right! I am posting the Page Links first. They explain what the court forms are about and how to fill them out. I have some webpages started and some almost completed. I am working as quickly as I can and by Dec. 2011, I should be finished.
