I really do not understand why people are trying to look at smaller issues such as who is right or wrong, whether she went back or not, whether its normal to follow such practices to extort plea etc.
I do not think (correct me if I am wrong) the laws ever say that lawyers have the permission to extort pleas even though that's what is going on everywhere.
And if as an appointed office holder and given such responsibility, you have to understand that nothing sort of extortion should ever undergo and if you could not do that, you are not fit to run the office. Simple. Period.
How hard is that for anyone to understand. Please don't give standard practices bullshit.
- mpyne 14y agoThe alternative to plea bargaining is generally that everyone convicted gets sentences in line with the Federal Sentencing Guidelines. No one ever seems to believe this but the intention is for there to be a better result for both sides. I'll admit that dropping the option of plea bargains would less to lower conviction rates (though this is not necessarily a good thing, depending on your mindset). However should Aaron's case have gone to trial it's very likely IMO that it would have lead to a conviction and you really would be talking about anywhere between 1-7 years in prison instead of 4-8 months. That sword cuts both ways.
- shail 14y agoI am just saying that it should not never be used as an extortion tool and if any lawyer using it as extortion should be punished.
