Diane Bass's Strategic Defense Leads to Remarkable Sentencing Victory

Our team at White Collar Advice is proud to collaborate with some of the best legal minds in America. Today, I have the privilege of interviewing one of them, my good friend, Diane Bass.
In this video, Diane discusses a particularly challenging case where, despite her client’s conviction at trial, her planned mitigation strategies led to an extraordinary court outcome. Her client, who had been taken into custody post-trial, received a sentence of time served and was able to go home that night-an outcome that seldom occurs.
Diane discusses her defense tactics, emphasizing the importance of a proactive approach even after a guilty verdict. She highlights how investing time in mitigation and closely reviewing all submitted documents, including collaborating with clients on their statements, played a critical role in shaping the judge’s decision.
If you need a lawyer who continues to produce incredible outcomes, I encourage you to contact Diane Bass at www.dbasslaw.com/.
Thank you for watching,
Justin and Diane

This result was truly breathtaking. All of your working life is now dedicated to trying to offer support for people who might be forced to enter Federal Prison. At second blush, my comment may seem absurd. But I am thinking about the millions of homeless people. I am not at risk of being sent to Federal prison, and thank God, I am not in a bad financial situation. But after reading about your prison experiences, I have realized that the prison experience would be an enormous help to homeless people. I know people who are living only on social security and having an intense difficulty in finding a rental place they can afford. These people would consider it a luxury to sign into a federal prison. Their only concern would not that they would be HELD there, but rather, kicked out! Sanjosemike (no longer in CA)

I don’t think judges should ever be sentencing people on their own. The responsibility is enormous. You’re taking somebody’s life and future- sometimes entire life and future- into your hands and yours alone. In the case of violent crime that may be exactly what the convicted person did to someone else. It’s too susceptible to the whims of a single human beings emotions, temperament, willingness to recognize socioeconomic factors, even whether they’re having a bad day. I think the decision should always be made by a jury and judge together. The jury should be responsible for setting the time of incarceration, and the judge will have the power ONLY to affirm or lower the jury’s sentence, never to increase it. That would be a way to take people’s worst instincts- the innate desire to use the power at one’s discretion- and turn it around into something that can be a force for good. Of course there are times when big long sentences are indeed appropriate. When somebody hurts a child, for example. But no matter how you slice it and dice it, it’s too much power for an individual.
