When Writing a Judge

For heaven's sake if you decide to write the judge a letter, please don't admit to a crime.  In fact, don't write the judge at all.  The judge's role in a criminal case is as the tryer of the facts only.  A judge can not act as an advocate or give legal advice.  The defense attorney will present any evidence during hearings and trial.  The judge does not care that your mother is sick or your girlfriend is expecting a baby.  You should have thought about that before you got into trouble!!

Good luck!
