Despite this, all of the criminals I have worked with, I have never seen a more guiltier man walk into that courtroom. Do you believe that after this trial and if you decide to acquit him, that this man will not get worse? The thing about this boy is that he is tough and angry, like a puppy who has been kicked too many times. Before you know it, that puppy decides to bite the next person who tries to kick it.
