Well, if you pay your own lawyer, you can do what you want. If your attorney is from Legal Aid or a similar outfit, a lot of times, they're so swamped with work that effective representation becomes the art of securing a decent deal, so as to preserve the opportunity to go to trial for a few defendants that have the better chances of winning.Plus, often times, the deal offered involves no jail time for a petty larceny, but the prosecutor says that if you risk messing up her percentages and efficiencies, then they'll ask for the maximum penalty. I'd be interested to know if NYCT has any input on criminal prosecutions arising out of conduct on their property (as opposed to violations, like walking between cars). |
