      @Tou Vang - people should never plead guilty or no contest to something they didn’t do. This is especially true if you are being accused of A/B on a Police Officer. The jails are full of people who claim innocence after pleading guilty or no contest. A plead of no contest simple means you are choosing not to contest the charges. This is really just semantics.

      @chizplayaz - tell you what, if you’re truly innocent and you take the advice of an attorney to plead guilty, that’s your idiot move. You don’t get to cry “foul” after the fact. I’ll assure you this guy was probably intoxicated or just being an a$$hole and made an aggressive move on a cop. He was probably advised to plead no contest in lieu of a trial to mitigate his sentence. That doesn’t make him innocent.

    I had a friend once that got charged with assault w/deadly weapon, and the weapon was a broom. After hearing all he went through with the criminal justice system, my takeaway was this: Never EVER lay your hands on someone, no matter how angry you are, unless you feel your life is in danger or they initiate it. Avoid at all costs, getting entangled in the criminal justice system. It's a racket.

    Time and good performance heals a lot. At 31 you are young enough to rally and build a new future. I would look at working hard and get your life in order. Talk with the courts there are ways to have cases expunged from your record. I have a friend who has a felony (bank robbery) and seven years in jail. He got out at 32, and now has an awesome life. You have a choice, define your life or let your past do it. Good luck!

    The U.S. is always in-between in terms of healthcare, criminal justice, etc. In Germany, your criminal record is completely cleaned after you serve your time. Their recidivism rate is much lower than the U.S. Either put everyone away for life or give them a second chance.

One time he asked me for about $50, and I gave it to him because he said he was in need, and a few minutes later he spends it on the Tennessee lottery at a gas station. He said I don't understand that he had to do that. I had to have that $50 back. You just be honest and good with money, work hard and smart, and be honest, and you'll probably fo better than most people that have no criminal record.
