It is me again, when I was brought into the local jail the morning of my arrest(last Wednesday) I was immediately ask to narc on a local dealer. Isaid I didn't think I should do that. I was put in the cell and have not been spoken to since. I called my friend(the person logging this information on for me) and told her to call the officer that offered me the deal and tell him that I would work with him like he asked. He told her that I obviously couldn't keep my mouth shut and that I should have just passed him a note by some other officer. It is a known fact through out this community that the local authority is somewhat shady. We've had the same sheriff for over twenty years. He has unreal monetary possesions for a man on a sheriff's salary, there have been MANY incidents that were obviously ignored by him and his officers. I mean, the only cop that is somewhat trustworthy is the one that offered me the deal and now he says that I should have passed him a note or something? Information leaks out of this sheriff's office like water runs over Niagra... I want to do what I need to do to reduce my charges which will in turn reduce my time. I want to go to rehab, I want help, I do understand that I have to pay for my illegal activities but I am positive that I am being used as a pawn to make our local authorities look good. I've never even been the big time dealer they think I've been, just another junkie trying to support my bad habit. I need some advice as to what my rights are while I am stuck here under this bond,facing my 2nd felony conviction in a state that, as of January 1997,will send me to prison for nearly 20 years for this crime. The distribution was a very minimal amount. It was just a way to pay for my own purchase. And now that I would like to straighten up, I have been arrested. Is there any such thing as having a trial like this one moved or maybe having it observed by federal officials unassociated with the local authorities? I just want a FAIR trial and I don't believe I will get one here where the judge,sheriff, and officers see me only as the stupid boy I have been. They did not know of my decision to quit, but they waited four months to serve the warrants on me. They waited to see if I would do some BIG deals or something. I didn't because I was trying to get out. Now, I am willing to do what they've ask me to do, but they are not willing to reduce any of these charges. PLEASE PLEASE email me and tell me if there are any rights that I have that may help me with this situation. I am afraid that my chance to live normally may be over before I even got to try. Do not respond if you don't have anything intelligent to tell me. By the way, I live in Louisiana
