Drew: Not much of a presentencing process since I was caught in the act and then tried and sentenced shortly thereafter.
Devin: pre-sentencing was 99.9% of the time a plea bargain.The state is so backed up that it will offer u a good deal just to get u out of there court room and sentenced.They offer u 1/3 of what the charge is supposed to carry and sometimes less than that too.

Drew: Was arrested having committed a crime in downtown Orlando. I fled the scene and was actually chased down by numerous store owners. Eventually the police got involved.

JM: What was court like? Please give as many details as you recall.

Drew: First of all, it's quite a headache getting the corrections officers to provide you with your court date (for safety reasons). Thus, you are only provided such information either by your lawyer or outside family members who may view your court date online. When it comes, it's a waiting game, starting as early as 4 o'clock in the morning and lasting till late in the afternoon.
Devin: The court system for every county jail I've ever been in is a joke.It's a get you in there and get you done as fast as possible with the crappiest representation the states money don't want to spend.They give you a public defender that we like to call public pretenders.
Sean: it was a very long wait very short process in a very firm Senate's
