I do i convince a judge that i am done being a criminal and want to live a life free of crime?

Published May 18, 2010

I was arrested on a check crime back in July to support my meth addiction. (I forged checks on my ex boyfriends account. We also share a daughter and he takes care of her). I knew that my life had become unmanageable and i had tried everything to break the addiction cycle. I checked into a treatment center and graduated their intensive inpatient program in 8 weeks. now i reside in a half way house. I recently excepted a managing position at a local cellular phone company that works with me so that i can attend my self help groups 5 times a week. I also go to AA/NA meetings regularly. I have been slowly paying off my debt to society. I will be getting my 6 month sobriety chip next month and i am slowly putting my life back together. I do have a public defender that said “You grabbed the bull by the horns and ran with it.” But will a judge see it that way? I am so scared to go to prison. If you were the judge would you think i deserve prison? My sentencing date is the beginning of Dec.

I do i convince a judge that i am done being a criminal and want to live a life free of crime?
