“I Didn’t Know” Is NOT an Excuse Judges Want to Hear

Added: 2026-06-02

[00:00:00]Does saying I didn't know ever work in a criminal case? Absolutely not. You're charged with knowing what the general statutes and laws are. So saying I didn't know when it came to violating the law doesn't get you out of anything.

[00:00:14]The judges don't care, the prosecutors don't care, and the cops don't care. So try this excuse on someone else.
