Advice needed-Wanting to apoligize to sufferer of wreck from my DWI. Didn't injure martyr, lately messed up vehicle?
I need some advice. I hit another sports car from behind and I want to apologize for what I did since it was so wrong and I could hold hurt/killed her. I haven't went to trial yet but I am pleading guilty whenever I do shift, so I am not worried about "telling on myself" to where on earth I couldn't plead not guilty. The thing is since it happened, I own went through rehab, have cleaned up my feat, joined a nonprofit against drug abuse and inebriated driving (in which a fragment of my duties will be to give speeches to prevent others from repearting my mistakes) and turned around my life. I only want to do the right thing and apoligize, trying to set things right. Will I get a kismet at court considering I am entering a guilty plea so she will not be able to testify? How should I go more or less this, possibly through my attorney?
Answers:
tough break there... sorry you're going through that.
At trial, if you get the coincidence, be sure to let the judge know adjectives those things you put in your question in the region of how you've changed your ways etc. Then, while you're talking (again... if you get the chance) throw contained by the apology. It's worth a shot anyway!
Another option would be to wait til everyone's departure the court room. If the victim's there, you can stop their party and fashion your apology then if they choose to stop and listen.
Above and beyond anything else though, I'd wait til after the guilty plea to utter anything directly to the victim. The less you say-so before-hand, the better. Sometimes an apology can be misconstrued as an admission of guilt to things you didn't do! Better to wait til it's over previously you say anything. Remember, you'd rather the decide be as lenient as possible in the sentencing phase!
Good luck!
Songbyrd is absolutely correct.
While I respect your wishes to make amends, in that are other issues to contend with., Your attorney will most likely (if he is any good) will offer the same advice.
After the civil suit is done, your attorney may endow with you different advice.
I would definatley talk with my attorney first and form sure that you show proof where you've cleaned up your act and where on earth you went through rehab etc. I think that it shows dutiful character to apoligize and i applaud you for wanting to do so. I already feel and don't even know you that your head in the right direction. I feel that you've shown that the mistake you've made have made you change and want to do what's right. Just let them know that you are sincerely sorry and that you can't uncoil what has been done but you are taking steps to ensure that this doesn't ever develop again. GOOD LUCK in court and the rest of your life. I reason what you want to do and have already done shows how you want to do the right thing. Hope it adjectives works out for you.

As an attorney, say nil. Nothing. Wait until the civil suit is over if one is filed and tell the court you are sorry. Listen to you Lawyer. Source(s): s--attorney 25 years
