Many innocent people are arrested, prosecuted, and convicted. Many guilty people get more punishment than they deserve under the law and facts of their case.  Being arrested can be a frightening and intimidating experience.  The prospect of court, fees, fines, lawyers, and trials may seem overwhelming.  If you’re facing criminal charges, you may find it hard to focus on anything else. You may be unsure about what’s going to happen next. If you are accused of a crime, there is a lot at stake.  You may be wondering, “Will I lose my license, my savings, my job, my freedom?”  Often people forget about the presumption of innocence, until an arrest happens to them, their family or a friend.
