If you are facing serious criminal charges in Troy, chances are you are worried about what may happen on your court date. Without a Troy criminal defense attorney by your side, you will feel the full weight of the criminal court system on your shoulders. It is a heavy weight to bear alone.
The judge is supposed to remain neutral. However, it is apparent that judges are becoming increasingly tougher on defendants who are charged with criminal offenses, both during the court procedure and, if they are convicted of the crimes, during the sentencing.
The police certainly are not on your side. They were the ones who arrested you in the first place, and if necessary, they will testify against you in court as witnesses for the prosecuting attorney. Regardless of how nice you are to them and how cooperative you have been, if a police officer shows up to your trial, he or she is there to help convict you.
The prosecuting attorney will not be looking out for your best interests. Most prosecutors are focused on enormous caseloads, with a main goal of scoring high conviction rates. District attorneys are not required to be impartial. On the contrary, even the most generous prosecutors are unlikely to have much compassion for criminal defendants who are seeking a guilty plea.
When you are standing alone at the podium, facing the judge, the prosecuting attorney, and any police witnesses on your court date, you will realize that the odds are stacked against you. The reality of it is: the state wants to find each and every criminal defendant guilty and move on to the next case. You are just a number. The court system is not set up to be fair. Sometimes, it seems like it is easier to plead guilty instead of fighting.
