45. What is done in other cases?
Edited on Sat Jan-31-04 12:48 AM by LiberalFighter
When there is a murder or burglary what happens with the defendant when they are offered a plea agreement? Is there a public awareness of the specific charges based on the minimum and maximum?

Isn't there also a perception by the public that some defendants accept a plea agreement even if they are innocent or to avoid a prolong trial?

So if there is an agreement that does not involve the production of evidence then that would provide Limbaugh a means of keeping his listeners hooked. Without evidence... in the eyes of his listeners he is innocent.
