With the hardball already being played against Aaron, he'd probably be held for contempt of court for pleading guilt! He certainly couldn't have believed any of it -- all a lie, on its face.
- tptacek 14y agoIt's the prosecutors who played hardball, not the judges.

Judges get elected and promoted as politically as prosecutors do, and, like prosecutors, benefit more from a "tough on crime" platform than they do on a "fair to guilty people" platform. My favorite memory of this is the time that a judge and the public defender were openly mocking a defendant in the court room.
