You are exactly correct. I had an attorney tell me that once decades ago when I got a DUI that I did deserve. My attorney told me straight up that the judge wants to see you pay into the brotherhood. If you try to represent yourself in a case like that, you're toast. The judge is going to smoke you. Then there were different levels of "justice" so to speak. If you don't want to have it count against you, but you won't walk away scott free, it will cost x-amount by the time you factor in costs and fines and lawyer fees. Or,if pay x-amount, a win would be arranged. In my case back in the day, in all I paid $7,500 in total costs and fees, my license was suspended for three months where I couldn't drive at all for the first month, ONLY to and from work for the following two months, fully unrestricted afterwards, on probation for one year afterwards, on my record for 7 years afterwards. At the time, had I paid $10,000, I would have walked away on a technicality or something. Again, I got the DUI and deserved it. I was at home, off the road, had no business getting in my truck at 2:00 AM to drive my buddy home to his wife. Had I made him stay put, all would have been ok. My fault.
Thing is though, while I was outside of the courtroom waiting to go in, my attorney and the DA were wheeling and dealing right in front of me. "I'll give you this guy, if you give me that guy...". "Well, you were supposed to give me that guy and didn't, but you gave me that guy when I wanted the other guy...", "Yeah, I know, but if you give me this guy, I'll give you that guy and that guy instead...", "OK but you still owe me...". I was sitting right there looking up at those two guys hoping that for the $7,500 that I'd paid that I wasn't going to get whacked, and for the most part, I didn't. I got spanked, not real hard though.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
