About twelve years ago I was an addict and I totally take responsiblity for the actions that I did do. But I recieved a case of engaging in organized crime because some people broke into my house while I was in jail on contributing to a delenquency of a minor and stole a checkbook. When I got out of jail I had to move and didn’t forward my mail. By the time I found out from the bank what was going on and tried to clear it up with my bank the police where involved. They never understood that I never gave the checks to anyone, handwriting analysis did not match my writing, I was never around any of the places the checks where cashed or knew my other defendants well. Yes I was in a bad place and yes I did some unscrupplous things BUT THIS WAS NOT ONE OF THEM. I was already on probation for contributing to delenquency of a minor so I was sentenced to two years in Texas Department of Criminal Justice. My attorney told me to take the deal and I did. Looking back I wish I would have fought it, I tried to explain that I didn’t do what I was accused of but noone would listen. Anyway I just wanted to share my story. Maybe it will idk
