Wrongfully Convicted in the Weirdest Trial Ever

But anyway, so eventually... I did go back home, got some stuff, got my car, and I think I went to my sister's house. I don't know where I went, but that's how it kicks off. So I go to court the first time in court, and they assign me this insane idiot public defender. It was a woman, totally incompetent. This woman, I don't think – well, first of all, I know she'd never, ever been to a trial.

Now, how long she'd been a lawyer, I'm not sure if it was that day she was new or what. She gets to talking to me, immediately trying to get me to take a plea. I'm like, what? I didn't do that. I didn't hit my wife. I tore up some shit in my house. We were fighting and stuff, but I didn't hurt anybody. I didn't fucking hit anybody. It was no violence at all. The shit's mine.

What are you talking about? This is my stuff. Who gives a fuck what I break? Anyway, I'm not having it. I'm not taking a plea because I think I'm I don't know. I should have, but I thought I was just, I'm not guilty. I'm, I'm taking it to trial. And right away she gets real nervous. And she was trying to talk me out of it. I'm like, what are you talking about?

I told you I'm, you know, I thought you were my lawyer. You know, what are you talking about? And she, she even tried to say, you know, where's your wife? And my wife was in the car. It was funny. I'm like, I don't know. I'm not supposed to talk to her. I'm supposed to talk to my wife. She goes, well, if I find out you're talking to your wife, I'll have to not be your lawyer anymore.

I'm like, what? Okay. I didn't realize that the lawyer isn't supposed to know you're guilty or something. You can't outright tell your lawyer that you're guilty. And then they can't defend you in good conscience. Let's say you committed murder. I don't think you can tell your lawyer. Yeah, I did it. No, let's just try to be. Well, I didn't know that.

I mean, here's what I thought. I thought the lawyer was there to lie through court. I mean, I thought that was their job. I had no idea. Right. So she apparently she wasn't on board with it either. But it wasn't for that reason. It was just because she she was an idiot. I'm a stone cold idiot. But I keep pushing it. I'm like, I'm not. I'm not doing it.

Why would I take a plea on something like that? It's ridiculous. Even if I got found guilty, what would be the worst thing that could happen? What, what, you know, what would happen? You could go to jail for a year. I'm like, I don't think I'm going to go to, I don't think I'm going to go to prison or jail over this. I don't think so. Right. So I pushed this and pushy and push it until they do it.
