If I take the blame for their crime to save them, can the prison sentence be removed?

I would encourage you to talk to your mom or other adult family member to ask them to help you work on this. There are things you could do, together, to look into the matter.

I believe that the case against me is questionable as they used "plain sight" as reason to pull me over after they searched my vehicle in my absence. Unlit parking lot, tinted windows, an hour and a half after sunset. But for the life of me I cant find a clear definition of what... View More

There’s not really a question here but you should file an appeal if you believe that you were wrongfully convicted. I presume that the government had other evidence such as third party witnesses or out of court statements, but it’s impossible to weigh in on the conviction with the limited... View More
