Defendants: The Truth Shall Set You Free (just ask this doctor)

The Truth That Actually Helps at Sentencing
When I met a physician in Tampa facing a probation interview, he kept saying, "I didn't have bad intentions." But intent doesn't carry much weight when you broke the law and kept doing it for two years. What mattered more was that he finally owned it—clearly and directly. That shift, along with other mitigation efforts, led his probation officer to recommend a shorter sentence due to his extraordinary acceptance of responsibility.
