"Conned" by WHO? Your attorney or the prosecutor? If you pled guilty to the offense and have already been adjudged, it is probably too late to do anything now.

Ask Mike Tyson. Ripping off a piece of someone's ear is known as aggravated battery causing disfigurement or disability, replacing the older term of "mayhem."

Top Five Reasons why RJ is should be further developed and incorporated into the American Criminal Justice System!!
1. The rate of re-offending, or recidivism, is about 30% lower after mediation compared to trials.2. Discussions within RJ mediations, circles, and conferences are dominated by the stake holders not lawyers. As a result, participants are more able to understand the process and consider it to be more fair.3. The trial recognizes that the family of the offender is also a victim and often suffer more than the family of the victim due to loss and stigmatization they feel, in violent cases like murder cases. Denial is a lot harder when you are held to the ultimate form of accountability; confronting the victim. Destruction feels of shame turn into healthy guilt, when they is a plan to "make amends." It is a way to discharge the guilt that eats offender up in side and which contributes to the "shame-rage" spiral that makes re-offending more likely.4. RJ mediations are setup to address complex questions beyond determining guilt. Underlying issues such as addiction are addressed. Childhood abuse is acknowledged, and offenders are perceived more human and less monstrous to the victim.5. Symbolic reparation, apologies, is considerably more likely in mediation that court trial and victims report it is much more important than large sentences and material reparation.
RJ rules! It can decrease the incarceration rate, the prejudice against minority offenders in the trial court system, and break the cycle of victimhood!!

Under-criminalization is any law that's intent is to make illegal but falls short in making something completely illegal. Or omits a specific type of wording to make any certain type of action illegal.
e.g. Pants and Shorts are found to cause cancer so the FDA bans it. However in the law they forgot to mention that denim is the cause and so silk pants are banned, however, denim jeans and shorts can still be worn, though this was not intended.
