A Sad Story (And a Warning)
One night Marcus went to a party with his girlfriend, Rebecca. Walking in they saw a raucous crowd surrounding a guy pinning someone down. Never one to just watch a man get beat up, Marcus intervened and the guy backed off, letting go of his captive. Unfortunately, he and his buddies began threatening Marcus instead. Trying to avoid further conflict, Marcus quickly walked away.
In the confusion he had lost track of Rebecca, so he went to their car to wait for her to come out. Unbeknownst to him, two of the guy’s buddies followed him and hit him from behind, knocking him to the ground. Forced to defend himself, Marcus killed one and wounded the other.
Fortunately for Marcus, he survived his encounter. Unfortunately, he was not as good at protecting himself against the legal system. Three harrowing years later, Marcus’ manslaughter and felonious assault convictions were upheld and he was sentenced to 15 years of prison.
Avoid Marcus’ fate. Mr. Branca’s book will show you how to maneuver your way through the justice system, avoiding that harrowing multi-year process of arrest, trial, conviction, sentencing, and appeals.
