Staying Calm In Court

After I was accused of doing something that I knew that I didn't do, I decided to lawyer up. I knew that if I was convicted of the crime that I could potentially spend the rest of my life in prison, which wasn't fair since I was innocent. Fortunately, my lawyer believed me and worked hard to help me to prove that I didn't commit the crimes in question.

This blog is all about staying calm in court and proving your innocence.
