If my dad is guilty, i might "help" him by getting him the best lawyer that money can buy and hope that they will give him a light sentence or something.

[king]

my dad is my dad is my dad.

blood is thicker than water so i'll save him from jail by hook or by crook. whatever happens after that is basically a family matter.

[ü fLiK ü]

if i were to help him, i'd rather do it in the right way by convincing him to tell the truth.. perhaps doing so might lessen the years he will serve if sentenced to jail..

:halogrow:

[Tushie]

me...i believe in justice...and i believe that if my dad is convicted of a crime he actually is guilty of, the best way that i could help him is be there for him as he faces the charges. (yes, he still deserves to suffer the consequences.) I will let him feel that he has to suffer the punishment, but he will never be alone. I am just one of those who will be there to support him emotionally.

But if he's not guilty at all, well id get the best lawyer in this universe... :glee: and will make sure that he be freed of all the charges.

Justice reigns! :)

[BabyFATS]

Justice, truth and goodness always prevail...

So no matter how much I would want to "hide" my dad's guilt, I can only do so much and not be considered a "criminal" myself. The best way I could help him is to convince him to speak the truth and let justice be served.

[dariaseventeen]

of course i will help him in any way either to help him win the case or something if he's totally not guilty or help him accept the fact that he was wrong and tell him that inspite of all that there's still room for change and its not the end of everything. maybe after that he could start anew. justice should always prevail.

[FUCHSIA]

IF MY DAD WERE GUILTY, I WILL BE ABLE TO HELP HIM BY STANDING BY HIS SIDE WHEN HE ENCOUNTERS TOUGH TIMES. BY MAKING SURE THAT HE GETS A JUST DEAL AS PENANCE FOR HIS ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES AND BY HELPING HIM SEE WHAT IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO.

[matanglawin]

I'll help my father just as long as the crime is not heinous like rape and murder (I'll have to trust our justice system:rolleyes: ).
I probably wouldn't know the truth and will just trust my dad - that he is innocent - I love him and that would be enough for me :)

[kesibi]

If your dad is about to be convicted of a crime, will you help him? Why or Why not?

As a son, I will help him, not only because he is my father but because these are a few of the things I could do in return of how he brought us up to be a good citizen.

With regards if he is guilty of the crime, my support will still be there. He might lose his freedom but not his own son.

[cuteangelika]

it depends if my father is guilty or not. As his daughter, I would know if he is capable of committing the crime he is accused of. If I know in my heart that he is guilty, I would first try to understand what pushed him to commit the crime. I will be there for him all the way, through the trial proceedings and all. I will get the best lawyer to defend him but if he is still convicted, all I can do is be there for him, never making him feel unloved even for just a second. He has never left me in all my 22 years of existence and I am not going to leave him now when he needs me most.

[RLboy]

*pexadik* I think the first thing I'll do is ask my father if he really did such a thing- commit a crime, after which I'll ask him what pushed him to do it, and what makes him more of a human after doing it, I mean what did he achieve by doing such a thing. If ever he is guilty of doing such, I will just let justice take its place, and just support my father to whatever thing he needs. If he didnt do such a thing, wel of course I'll be forced to do my very best to help him, like look for a lawyer, or pray for him, or... anything that'll help him. But no matter what, I will still consider him as my father.

[ArsenaL]

Eventhough he is my dad, i believe that i should only help him through lawful means.
This means getting him good counsel and supporting him morally.
Whether he is guilty or not, i will allow the justice system to decide.

[sweet_taz]

yes, i definitely would. His my father after all and I owe him everything. It's the least I could do. It wouldn't matter to me if he is guilty or not. His my blood and it's thicker than water!:)

[lil sis]

of course i'll help my father. i don't care if my father is guilty or not. no matter what happens, i'll be by my father's side to give him support, eventhough he'd be proven guilty of whatever crime, i'd still be my father's side. and i'll do it for him in exchange of all the hardship that he's gone through when i was still child till i grow old.

[lil sis]

of course i'll help my father. i don't care if my father is guilty or not. no matter what happens, i'll be by my father's side to give him support, eventhough he'd be proven guilty of whatever crime, i'd still be my father's side. and i'll do it for him in exchange of all the hardship that he's gone through when i was still child till i grow old.:)

[kermit_d_hermit]

if i were in corky's shoes, i wouldn't help my father.

I'd think it only serves pops right if he's to be convicted by a jury fr his crimes. He's not called a crime lord for nothing. He earned that title. He deserves punishment if he is truly guilty of his crimes. And he can only be proven innocent/guilty through a trial.

Of course, that is if I were in Corky's shoes. ;)

[emex]

for me if i were in corky's condition and its for real life and aint no piece of a comdey movie no more . i think i wouldn't help my dad though there's a quotation "blood is thicker than water" i believe each one of us is capable of making our own paths in life and i think that's what my father's fate and so be it, let him be in jail. hehehehe. :D

[zither]

:rolleyes:

If my dad is being convicted on a crime it will be tough on my part. In fact, being kept from my dad is the single most difficult part in our life because he is the source of our income. Missing the companionship of my dad could bring the deepest emotions; the most profound regrets. :(

I will help my father the best way that i can because i love him so much and i owe my life to him... I will always remind him that the LORD is looking after him and that he will give him a sense of wholeness and peace. :o

[anonymouse]

If I were in Corky's place, I would only help my father in the sense that I would hire for him the best lawyer that I can find and give him my all-out morale support so that he will not think that I don't care what might happen to him and will also not think of being left behind.

I would want my father to know what are the mistakes that he had done before to face the conseqences of it because I think my conscience won't stop me from bothering that I help my father do another bad thing.

[yeee]

I will help him, after all, he's my father.

[mmMmm]

tutulungan ko siguro sya by getting him the best lawyer
and then praying he wins the case... :D

[glitch2000]

of course...he's still innocent until proven guilty. So i must help uncover the facts and truth of what happened and why he is involved

[archerguy]

I'd say to my dad, "You bad boy Daddy!! OFF TO JAIL YOU GO!" :lol:

[xxtoyxx]

i am quite inclined on NOT helping him for the reason that me being his son would be somehow consequential at a certain perspective and that as a person, i must uphold what i think would be just and right but then again, he is still my dad and i am here for his welfare and therefore i will help him. and as long as he is still not proven guilty, i can say that he is innocent.

:cool:

[cathybee]

toughie...i will assume that the crime is of most abominable in nature like murder and my dad is absolutely guilty with it. For me, love doesnt necessarily dictates you to be blind. Our lives are not being handled by anyone but us. So if we did something regretful, we have to be responsible for it. We can't blame or depend on anyone but ourselves for the outcome. At his age and mind, he knew what he is doing all along and he knew already what is right or wrong more than I do considering he has lived most of life than I have. Much as I love him, I can not be selfish...I have to think that the pain that my father has caused to the victim is already great and so as an effort of retribution, I think our family should share the pain that the aggrieved is having. Perhaps, that way, I can help ask forgiveness for him. But despite handing him over, I will still accept him with all my heart and not be ashamed of him. We are of the same blood and even if it's shameful that such thing has occurred, I believe that the best thing that I can do to help him is give my forgiveness and love.

On the other hand, if he's absolutely innocent, I will fight for him no matter how long or what means or how hard it takes. I will stand by him and be by his side all along.

[huggies]

I can help my dad by giving him the best lawyer we can afford. That's it. I have to stick to my ethics so i shouldn't pull strings to get him off the hook (assuming he's guilty). If he is not, there's nothing to be afraid of.

[Momon]

I'll help him by visiting him in prison every week.

[marielle]

I'll help him.
Sabihin ko sa kanya mag-plead sya ng insanity.
Pag nakita siguro ng jury na katulad ko (as Corky) ang anak nya, maaacquit din sya. :lol:

[k3rwin]

ill let him decide coz i believe he knows whats the best thing to do. ill just be by his side. and besides we are responsible for any actions we do so face the consequences.

[femmefatale22]

i'll help him but i will not let him get away fromt he crime he had done...

[burn_stampede]

of course i'll save my dad gulity or not but ther will be a consequnce so that he will learned his lesson.... :up:

[rors]

of course i will help my dad to his innocence, by hook, and NOT by crook.

[cRuSHed]

I can help him through prayers...
I pray he won't rot in jail if he ends up there. :D

[maxelyjr]

i guess if i'm in corky's shoes, i'd try to get the truth from my dad first and look at all the evidences against him. the synopsis says i'd be happy with my newfound relatives so i'd take the assignment and get to the bottom of it. i'd turn the tables to have a look at the incriminating evidence and decide from there whether i should help my dad or not. if he really did what he is prosecuted for, he deserves a sentence. i'd try to get him a lighter sentence though.

[fridoh]

Of course i'll help him, whatever the cost.

[NelMania]

If I were Corky I would help my Dad regardless of how detached he had been to me. My Dad is my blood and that is a fact that I have to live with. It was not entirely my fault that I lost connection/contact with him before. He was partly to blame for that too. But when he asked for my help, I would find it wrong to say "No". I have a chance to help him. Refusing it would imply retaliation. The fact is, he needed help and I would give it to him. However, I am a firm believer of truth and I deserve to know the truth from him. My help is not necessarily bending rules and twisting "facts" so as to prevent a guilty man from being jailed. I would help him in any other way, like a good son knows best for his troubled father, but not to that extent. If he is guilty and should be put to jail, so be it. That could be best for him to realize how wrong he had become. It is not always too late to change for the better wherever you are.

[FUCHSIA]

I guess i will help my dad, not in making light his case but in making him realize that he has to pay for his crimes if they are true. I will tell him that there is still a chance for him to change his ways and I will help him in that respect. :rolleyes:

[MO]

my dad will always be my dad

i will have to fight for him because i owe it to him everything that i am

[FUCHSIA]

My dad deserves the best deal in court so i will help provide mitigating evidences para naman light lang yung sentence niya, so we will have more time together as dad and daughter. Then again, you know, if my name is "Corky!", I will probably be crazy enough to do what Corky Romano did in the movie!! :D :rolleyes: :p ;)

[YoBaKs]

I will support him but I can't 'defend' him and declare that he's innocent, if I know that he's not.
