Sheldon Silver was an assembly speaker for the state of New York. In January, 2015, a federal grand jury indicted him for various corruption charges. The government has frozen millions of dollars from his accounts and he now faces the possibility of a lengthy prison term. What he should he do?  A defense attorney will prepare him for the judicial proceedings. Yet Mr. Silver should learn more about how his statements during the judicial proceeding can come back to haunt him in the event of a conviction. It's quite possible for a defendant to make statements that exacerbate the sanction. People who don't respond well to criminal charges may serve longer sentences, and they may serve the time in tougher environments.
