A client with a juvenile delinquency from 1990 got a new lease on life today! I'm so happy for the guy. He was in a super messed up home with a bunch of step siblings, a dad abusing everyone physically, an older step brother showing everyone porno...the works. He ran away and when questioned by the police he told on the dad beating him up. That opened a can of worms that eventually got him charged with a nasty crime. He was summonsed into juvenile court and was given a brand new inexperienced lawyer who immediately pleaded him to the felony with a DYS commitment suspended. No investigation into the family or dad, no request for discovery, zip nada. The DA that handled the case is now a judge and his lawyer is a french teacher in public school.
He got his life together, never got in trouble again, and even got an FID which was revoked because of this case several years ago. We've been working on this since then, trying to rebuild the file and track people down. Even getting his own police reports required a court order. Finally he got some justice. Now we have to see what the DA will do with a 1990 case...
