Why? He could have sidestepped any plea bargaining if he wished. I'm not sure what you're suggesting they do.

  His price for not admitting felony guilt was to face 13 felony counts and a potential of 35+ years in jail at trial. That's unconscionable.

    That's extortion.

      I think they call it 'plea bargaining' now for some reason.

    To be fair it's doubtful that most of that would have actually held up in court. That woman who bullied that 13-year-old to committing suicide a couple of years ago was similarly charged under a very broad interpretation of wire fraud and was only ultimately convicted of a misdemeanor. Though he gets bankrupted from legal costs either way for sure
