So you've committed a crime and you've just been caught. Now what?

Well, apart from taking some precious time out to reflect upon your dumbass life choices, you're going to need some legal advice. Better call Saul! But if he's busy then we'd recommend checking out L. Scott Briscoe. He's a lawyer from West Virginia, and he's picked up a bunch of useful tips during his nineteen years of legal practice. He shares them on his Facebook page and they cover everything from what not to wear in a courtroom to how not to cheat a drug test. We can't guarantee they'll help you beat the rap, but at least they'll give you something to laugh about. In prison.

    Telling the judge you can't find your witness because they're in the 'witness protection' program probably won't work either.
