OOPS?

How do you take back the words?

I know that I could never be a lawyer because I would be too confused about how I could save my doctor client after she told all the Feds that she gave drugs to Patient A and his friends and that she was guilty of same. I wouldn't know how to go back to those people (the Feds) with a straight face and say, "Oops, we meant to say, we're not guilty! Oh, and what she said? She didn't mean it!"
So, it seems, according to KUAM's reporting, that Dr. D. Lujan told her first lawyer that she didn't want to plead guilty but he told her to so she did...then...she got the other lawyer and he told her to plead guilty and that she could change later but later never came even after she asked and asked...letters supposedly showing that she asked to change the plea....but the lawyer never changed the plea....and finally.....days, hours before the sentencing....after all the words are out there/here/everywhere/patient A revealed.....she gets a new lawyer hires her uncle/cousin/relative and wants a change in plea and says that she really was never guilty in the first place and wants a trial........and so......here I am....really confused...
How do you reveal all those secrets and claim you're innocent? I'm thinking that if she told the Feds everything they wanted to know that they would have given her the same sentence they gave one John Martinez who cooperated with them in a case against Gil Shinohara and Willy Flores et company....Martinez getting no jail time...could it be that the doctor got cold feet at the last minute? Could it be that she didn't tell all? What could it be that she'd want to put herself through hell with a trial, costing hundreds of thousands of dollars plus angst? I'm so confused!
We'll see what Uncle Fed says tomorrow...there's still a hearing in her honor at that nice big building in Anigua...it's a sentencing for her...maybe they'll play nice nice and she won't have to have a trial after all?

My father had an old saying, "too much of anything is no good." In this case, the G administration looked pretty lucrative for Dr. D and she decided to make her way into the corrupt world of that administration. Dr. D thought that the administration could cover everything up and it didn't happen that way. They got caught, she saw her license in jeopardy, and then turned her story around and made a mockery out of our court system, like many corrupt individuals do. Let's face it, the courts on Guam haven't been very impressive within the past decade.
Dr. D betrayed our island people, betrayed the oath to administer medicine, disgraced her family and friends, and sadly, ruined her reputation for life. This is a huge price to pay for greed.
On a closing note, being intelligent can get the best of you. When you kid yourself into believing that you're above the law, this is what happens. Perfect example.
