Well, we know that they both pled guilty. That's publicly available. Other than that major point, we don't have context. Yes, I would like everything to be pub

Other than that major point, we don't have context. Yes, I would like everything to be public so we know what we're paying for.
I'm going to 'pass judgement', and leave you to responsible commenting.
- nkurz 14y agoHere are two cases where rape defendants chose to plead guilty to a crimes they did not commit: http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/readme/2002/12/why_innocent_people_confess.html http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/readme/2002/... http://ratiojuris.blogspot.com/2012/05/when-innocent-clients-plead-guilty.html http://ratiojuris.blogspot.com/2012/05/when-innocent-clients... I presume that such cases are a minority, that those who plead guilty generally are. But I don't know what the actual odds are. What makes you certain? Or are you comfortable passing judgement regardless?
- capitao 14y agoYeaaaah this isn't one of those cases, I'm pretty comfortable judging on this one
- mikescar 14y agoYes, it has happened. I'm comfortable forming an opinion based on the facts available. As I said in my comment, I'd like more info since it's ostensibly a public function to run a government court. Otherwise we can all just run around with our hands in the air crying about how we just can't make a decision on anything in which we weren't directly a party.
