What's the #1 mistake people make after being arrested for armed assault?

The number one mistake that I see people make in assault cases, particulary assault and battery with a dangerous weapon cases, is to think that the authorities are going to see things the way they do. In other words, the defendant says "well I was justified because he said this and he said that and he got me angry and blah, blah, blah". Well the fact is, it's still a crime. But if they don't take it seriously from the beginning, they don't hire the right defense attorney to represent them seriously. And so that is the number one mistake, not taking it seriously, not hiring counsel and basically making all kinds of statements that end up hanging you down the road.
