I spend a lot of time in prison for someone without a number. Driving to prison, being searched, walking past families of inmates. Waiting for my client to come sit across from me. I have grown accustomed to the attitudes of the guards and the strange looks from people because i am wearing a suit and tie and sitting in a room by myself, waiting.
When i visit a person in prison the conversation turns inevitably to their chances. Is it fifty fifty? Twenty-Eighty? What is it? Cmon give me some statistical probability that i will walk out of prison.
Sometimes I am their last chance, their hail Mary(see below), their final shot at a new trial.
When I tell them the truth, its not what they want to hear. However, the truth is always better than building false hope. The truth is that your case like every other case and depends wholly only whether we can change the story of your case.
As i turn to leave, always, you're my last chance. Thanks, i needed more pressure.
