About this episode
If your lawyer isn't helping you prepare for sentencing, why are you still taking their advice? A defendant in New Jersey is weeks from sentencing—no narrative, no character letters, no review of his sentencing memo. His lawyer missed the probation interview and dismisses his concerns with "I've got it covered." That's not preparation—that's negligence. You wouldn't keep a fitness coach if you were in worse shape after six months. The same applies here. You must self-advocate. Waiting on someone else could cost you your freedom.
