It is estimated that over half of the 2+ million people in
U.S. prisons have a clinical addiction.
These statistics come from the National Association of Drug Court
Professionals. If the underlying cause
of crime is that someone is addicted, then what are we doing as a society to
address and start ameliorating that problem?
When someone you love has been accused of a criminal act it
is important to understand what was their state of mind when the crime was
committed? In the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts there is a special court where defendants who have been proven to
have a substance abuse problem are able to be supervised. Massachusetts now has nearly 30 such drug
courts.
Recognizing your options when you or a loved one are accused
of committing a crime is essential. Of
course, you need a professional veteran of the court system to understand them
all. That is why your first phone call
is to Massachusetts criminal drug court professional Paul R. Moraski. Being accused of any crime any time demands a
call to Attorney Moraski in Boston at (978) 744-1200.
