They Didn’t Read You Your Rights? That Doesn’t Help You.

Everybody thinks they know how criminal law works… until they’re the one in the system. In this episode, I break down some of the biggest misconceptions I hear every day—things people believe that actually end up hurting their case. From Miranda rights to DUI refusals, to the idea that a victim can “drop charges,” we walk through how these situations really play out in court. I’ve handled these cases from both sides—as a former prosecutor and now a defense attorney—and I can tell you this: most people don’t get in trouble because they’re guilty. They get in trouble because they rely on bad information. If you’ve ever said “they can’t do that,” this episode is for you. Listen in and learn how the system actually works—before you find yourself in it.
