Stories About Lawyers | 60 Minutes Full Episodes

[@TruthTALKA]

I was raised a low income immigrant, dropped out of highschool, and now in my 30s just finished my first year of law school. It's been quite the journey, even getting my bachelors was difficult, but I got through it. Law School is difficult, but doable, especially when you have the drive and work ethic. This was refreshing to watch, and I hope many people understand the biggest obstacle one can face is the one you place on yourself.

[@CarolynHughes-t1l]

As a lawyer myself, this is just great! Before becoming a lawyer, i worked with drug dependents in their rehabilitation from illicit (illegal) drug use. i strongly believe in the reformation of persons who have broken the law; most of these people are redeemable and can realize their full potential. it takes caring, empathetic persons & professionals who can provide support and means for changing for good those who were convicted criminals (like in this 60 Minutes episode), to effect redemption & personal success for those who erred in their ways.

I pled guilty to a crime I did not commit and 25 years later i still wish I never did, it changed my life so drastically back in my twenties. I was misinformed by my Public Defender of what the full benefit would be to fight the charge, and was frightened into believing that I could be doing 7 1/2 to 15 if I didn't. I was so mislead and misrepresented, I didn't fully understand the law then and neither did my parents. We trusted the system and what the 'system' said would happen....all so the court and the Public Pretender could move onto their next case to close as fast as possible.

[@juditrotter5176]

One of my sons was charged into petty Juvenile court. His attorney was given the file just before the hearing. It was pretty disgusting. She had never seen my son or talked to him. The right to council is an ideal without funding.

I saw a public pretender two minutes before I saw the judge. They asked me if I understood. I said no. The pretender told the judge that I did. Got 26 years I had admitted to being charged with a felony. Denied housing jobs etc. All those years later I found out I had only been charged with a midtomrnor.

Hard to believe Anderson? I did nothing the DA had no evidence and no witnesses and Public Defender said if I didn’t plead guilty then I’d be in jail for years or even life. My Public Defender and Attorney said they knew I didn’t do any of what was alleged and charged and they knew the DA had no evidence but they said they couldn’t help me. They never came to see me or answer my calls. The only honest thing they said was, “I don’t have the time to help you, the DA and I decided your plea, if you take it you can get out of jail, if you don’t you will remain in jail for years and possible decades. I lost my Nursing license (and I lived Nursing and would have done it for free) and I lost my daughters who were told multiple lies from my Attorney because he couldn’t convince me to plead guilty. When I kept hearing the lies and how they were affecting my daughters, I decided to plead guilty to charges I never ever did and I wasn’t allowed to choose my plea, my Attorney and the DA did. That was seven years ago. BTW, the Public Defenders never had time to talk to me or look into my case. They showed up in court and shockingly agreed with DA lies in court and lied saying that I told them things I didn’t tell them. The judge wouldn’t let me speak. What would you do Anderson if you were told you’d sit in jail for years without end in sight unless you plead guilty or no contest? And no Advocate to boot…actually your “Advocate” spoke more to ADA about your case and was anything but an Advocate

Stop asking other people to change for you, be the change that you want to see.

As of August 2024 , Shon new case against him for Domestic Violence assulting his wife has gone mute. His wife drop charged however, the DA is pursuing Assault Charges against Shon. Shon according to other media accounts say, Shon has a history of violence, narricism and anger management issues. Shon needs years of therapy and Anger Management Counseling to help him deal with his anger issues. His story was amazing. However, his violence issues are now tarnishing his amazing redemption story. I have lost all respect for a man ( every man )who assaults women.

As if losing your freedom wasn't punishment enough. No, we have to denigrade you on top of it. Maybe treating inmates like human beings might actually increase their chances of rehabilitation? Many countries have successfully tried it, maybe it's worth a shot?

Do we have a branch of JUSTISE DEFENDERS here in America? If not, we sure could use one, especially in the southern states.

I wish the Government would create a pathway to become a Public Defender . Like an Apprenticeship or fast track Learning to fill the employment gaps.

[@sarahphillips8987]

You have to have a JD degree and have passed the state's bar exam just to even apply. You want licensed attorneys as the public defenders. The fact is most states fund/pay prosecutors many times more than they fund/pay public defenders. There should be more balance there, because as the Tulane law professor pointed out this has ramifications beyond just the defendant and his or her life. When you can make more as a bartender than you can as a public defender in some places, there is one problem. And the other is the crushing caseload most have. They don't need a "fast track", they need to pay more and fund the public defender agencies more so they can hire additional attorneys and paralegals and support staff... and a student loan forgiveness program for those willing to go to the most underserved places for a certain amount of time could also help, because law school is expensive, and then studying for and passing the bar is additionally expensive.

[@dr.aniasara7038]

There's a basic ignorance among people, and especially other attorneys and doctors especially. There are individuals that have all sorts of education and documentation that buy it, or are not really that smart. We are all given gifts, talents, skills and abilities as souls, and it is up to us to either use it or let it go. Some abuse what they've what they are given for position, money, and fame rather than for good. God bless this young man in his life.

Poor defense is no defense at all. The best at worst is that it makes things 100 x worse. I have been drinking through Louisiana for 40 plus years, especially New Orleans. New Orleans is not any longer a part of my map book, and Louisiana is not far behind. Any state that piggy backs off of mideanors into a felony vs each standing as a single charge under its own penalties is way far beyond dangerous and can cripple the courts as now you Damm sure have to fight every single charge of a misdemeanor to the maximum. And no plea deals ever Now, about 90 to 97% of all cases are on a deal. If it even dropped to 50% the courts would be absolutely crippled forever and a case that could come as quickly as 6 months would go to 5 years overnight and many cases often times take well in excess of 1 plus years and would take 7 to 10 years to go to trail. And if you demanded a speedy trail, the system would crumble in 90 days Real criminals would walk out free men and women. Because they could not do a speedy trail but for a very limited number of people.
