Reply #44: Well then, she's screwed.

The judge rejects her guilty plea, the case goes to trial.

At the trial the fact-finders get to see the pictures and will probably know she's already plead guilty. They will find her guilty, she will get a punishment that is substantially higher than her current deal.

If you think the prosecutors -the same ones who cooked up this present whitewash deal -are going to turn around and investigate her superiors, you've been drinking the Kool-aid or watching too many episodes of JAG.

And if you think this judge is some sort of hero for what he's doing, you are sorely mistaken. He knows damn well he's screwing her over, and he knows damn well nothing will come of this except her catching more time.
