How about this, from an article I posted elsewhere in this thread by a public defender, who explains why innocent defendants accept plea bargain for crimes they didn't commit:"The judge turns to you and asks, “Does either counsel know of any reason that I should not accept the defendant’s guilty plea?” You hesitate. You want to shout: “Yes, your honor! This plea is the product of an extortive system of devastating mandatory minimums and lopsided access to evidence. My client faced an impossible choice and is just trying to avoid losing his life to prison.” It says a great many things about why the Black incarceration rate is so artificially high. |
