So you have a better understanding of why people do make the choice to plead guilty when they believe themselves innocent or at least innocent of the charges?

My XH as an attorney sees this a lot. A person is often offered a misdemeanor charge which is a lot less risky to accept than going to trial for a felony. It's a tough situation for some people but you can understand how for even smallest risk that they are found guilty of a felony it is worth it to avoid that risk.

Definitely though, listen to the attorney. If someone is out to get him, then getting away is the right thing to do even if it is unfair.

SOOOO What's up with your practice?
