Early child abuse left me severely misdirected in my youth. On the wrong path I was convicted of assault served 7 yr. in the clink. I turned my life around somewhat while behind the wall. But not before an incident where I had to stab a rival inmate in self defense. One yr. pryor to my set release, I was charged with the assault which carries a maximum of 10 yr. Unable to afford a lawyer untrusting of the system, I hit the law library studied 24/7 chose to represent myself in buying pills online court. It was a longshot which paid off. I was aquitted by reason of self defense. Now Ive been free for 2 years. Im taking several college courses was wondering about entering the legal field. I thought this would be as good a place as any to get some insight advice on this matter while maintaining anonymity of my horrific past.
