Crime/ Criminal Defence

Failed me completely

All evidence was there and they failed me repeatedly, they do not uphold truth even when evidence proves truth and I serve all punishment before I'm found innocent and I get nothing for abuse and stress but they get paid hmmm, they work for benefit of prosecution. Clyde is a good guy but I don't trust none of others
