All I know is that she was tried then considered innocent paid through the nose for a 'good' lawyer, her conscience would repent was released from prison, then set free again haunted that her name no longer made headlines conscious prison sojourn meant a morbid deadine. She paid heavily for that costitutional right to be represented she would pay for her dignity, not to be resented to be accused of cold blooded treachery was unreprehensible she would get her husband to buy justice the lawyer knew how the jury verdicts could be thwarted no trouble convincing them of her innoncence after all she was about to be a convent girl but got swept up in a land of booze fast entertainment and sleazy suitors. even had to deal with con-artist tutors.... It was her right to be represented see her name again in lights after all she was no criminal she meerly 'defended' herself to defend her unborn child so that she could move away from the tinsel, the entertainment land of perdition.... This was the lawyer's rendition. In actual fact the truth developed slack she was just one of many washed up entertainers trained to weasel themselves free of penitentiary containers and it was through the matron of the jail that jail bird starlets saluted and hailed a system as corrupt as any correctional center could afford there lay a heinous system of 'pay to be released' and a fabrication of woven lies All under the auspices of a 'good' lawyer. They had a choice, either pay to be released.. or decay behind bars and become deceased. [This message has been edited by ecrivan (02-03-2003 06:55 PM).] |
