Writing a letter to inform of low morals to his family?

We Answered:

you must also ensure you are not writing anything that can be construed as libel or slander. even if you believe something you cannot, according to the law, spread those beliefs to the detriment of others and since your writing to someone other then the man you need to keep that in mind or it will definitely be a loosing civil matter

Do friends and family writing letters to a judge really help for leniency??

We Answered:

The defense attorney could possibly use such letters in plea negotiations with the prosecutor, or at the time of sentencing by the judge. It's not a waste of time.
Helpful letters would give examples of good things that he has done, such as volunteer work. They would say that he is very remorseful.
If he has been charged with criminal vehicular homicide, the prosecutor would have the burden of showing not just that the passenger died, but also that the driver was at fault in some way, for example that he was under the influence of alcohol or that he was driving recklessly.
If you have anything to say about that factor, you should say it in the letter. As an example, if his blood alcohol was above the legal limit, and it is true, you could say that you have known him for ten years, and you have never seen him take a drink, that drinking was very unusual for him.
Or if he was above the legal limit, but he has now gone into rehab, and you feel that he is getting a lot out of it, you can say that.
If he was not drinking, but there is an argument that he was driving recklessly, you could say, if it is true, that you have driven with him many times, and you have always found him to be a careful driver.
It would also be good to have a minister or teacher write a letter, if he has someone like that in his life who could vouch for him. And if someone who was close to the victim, such as his girlfriend or siblings or parents would be willing to write a letter, that would be good, too.
Good luck to him.
