You're 30 years old. You show up in court, not with your attorney, but with your dad, and you ask the judge if he can sit by you at the defense table.
Following my testimony, you have no questions for me - you can't even look at me - but you ask the judge if you can make a statement. The judge allows it, and you spend five minutes telling him that you had a head injury years ago, and you just didn't realize that what you did was a crime. You also say it was because of your old head injury that you missed your original court date (and so I had to piss away half my off day sitting in court for nothing). And you go on to say that you're financially strapped, and you can't afford a fine.
Too bad you were found guilty. I actually was smiling as I left the courthouse. Then I went home and you didn't.

If he is headed for prison then I'm sure he'll meet lots of people who will sit with him and be his friend and everyone will no doubt have head injuries that are to blame for there plight.
