Florida Criminal Law Explained in 39 Seconds

Florida Criminal Law is a television show I've hosted for years. This clip is all of 39 seconds, and it is probably the only time in my career where the entire criminal law legal procedure has been explained so briefly.
Many people do not realize how the criminal justice system will pull one over on them, especially when it comes to criminal misdemeanors and criminal traffic offenses. The government hopes people will show up, plead out on their first court date (usually arraignment, but sometimes called "Plea Day" in some counties), and get sentenced on the spot.

The result is that people think they are saving money on legal fees (reasoning that they are guilty, so this is a way to cut their losses), and end up with criminal history, miss out on legal defenses and never get the best deal possible. A criminal defense attorney in Florida will be able to help you get the best possible plea bargain if you wish to settle your case.

This short video clip shows the procedure when a criminal case is handled correctly.
