Two sides to every story!

As bail agents, we bail people out of jail that have been arrested for a wide variety of alleged crimes. I want to emphasize the operative word "alleged" because often times the media sensationalizes a story and only reports one side of the case (before a trial or any hard facts have been established). The public forms an opinion based on what they know and rarely considers any other possibilities.

Many of my clients have been in the news. I am able to see both sides of the story because my clients, their families and their friends feel compelled to elaborate about my clients' character, his/her contributions to family, friends and society in general.

I have found that in many cases, the police have thrown every possible charge at my clients just hoping some of them will stick...they often don't. On my website I have a slogan that reads "Bad things sometimes happen to good people!" This is generally the case with my clients.

So next time you listen to the news, read a paper or hear a radio news story, consider the possibility that there is another side to the story. A side that does not paint such a bad portrait of the accused...they might just be innocent!
