@realbenlawyer: Many innocent people plead guilty. Our justice system is not designed for finding the truth and is only focused on swift resolutions that benefit those with money and power. As a former prosecutor, I often saw poor people suffer the most from this. Although public defenders do vital work and work hard they’re often overworked and overwhelmed by large caseloads. It’s important to make sure that you have a lawyer that can build a case and defense for that’s designed to protect and prove your innocence. #justice #criminallaw #civilrights
