I too would like to testify. It has been over ten years since my conviction. At the time I was young and ignorant. Since then, I have made an effort to turn my life around. I have done so with some success. I graduated from college with honors and have a professorial job in information technology. In my opinion, my respect for the law is heightened by this experience. I want to ensure I never break another law in my life. Each day is a blessing and freedom is not taken for granted. Please let me know what I can do to help persuade changes. Like many I was told that deferred adjudication would be a better choice than fighting the case. The real problem is I cannot appeal now. Looking back, I should have fought the case, since I never entered a habitation and was only in the driveway. A friend went into a garage and stole beer from refrigerator. I did aide in the crime, but I never entered the garage or broke the plane of a doorway. That said, the incident was a catalyst for me and I walk the straight and narrow.
