You're still not getting the fricking point that even though the plea bargain is taking years off of a sentence, the defendant is already at a disadvantage because he has to reluctantly take a plea deal. If you were innocent with no money for a lawyer, would you be so eager to take a plea deal for ten years even though you did nothing to deserve 10 years?

Read this link:
The court appointed lawyer( ahem, prison driver) gave a 30 second opening statement and he also forgot his defendants name.

Great justice system we have, beaver. I bet you are one of those guys that think death penaltys should be allowed just so the plea deals can be effective?

No I wouldn't be eager to take it. No ones forcing me to take it. I can go to trial if I want. Or not. That's the fricking point.

How is having the option of taking a plea deal worse for me? That's what I've been asking for what seems like hours now.
