Why would he continue to repeat that it probably won’t change someone’s mind if he were not mad people would not think that way. Although the prosecutor holds onto the false belif that my client is not mad and should be held accountable for his crimes.

During the witness recollection, Mr. Lengen cleverly created an instance in which the was able to briefly review his police report and reveal emails sent by Mr. Grievers. Mr. Grievers recently sent six emails prior to the TPOs unrelated to child visitation and sent a message threatening to “tie up” the victim. The defense attorney argued that the nature of the email was apologetic and the sole purpose of the emails was to admit to wrongdoings and ask for forgiveness.

I called my husband and he told me that him and his family are going to be getting me a new lawyer, so I actually stand a chance to get out one day.

I tried by altering the substance while taking note of their behavior. I found those people as test subjects and it was fun because I saw a challenge. However, it was a short-lived experiment and it was the high of the trial and error that made me happier more than anything. You see, being a psychology major placed me in an advantage; I never got into serious trouble with my entire misdemeanor because I learned to manipulate scenarios, people and their reactions. I live my life as if I'm at the edge of the cliff; always at the peak but never falling into the abyss.

Since attorneys hire these psychologists, due to attorney-client privileges the attorney can pick and choose what information will be provided to the court of law.
