ELI5: How can an alford plea be different from a guilty plea if your pleading to all charges? Kind of like the West Memphis 3?

Jump

  • They take an Alford plea to avoid a harsher sentence that could come at trial and/or they’re 1000% sure they’re innocent but can’t prove it (yet).

  • When a person enters an Alford plea, they maintain their innocence but acknowledge that the prosecution has enough evidence to likely convict them if the case went to trial. In contrast, a guilty plea is an outright admission of guilt.

    An Alford plea allows a defendant to avoid the risk of a harsher sentence at trial while not admitting to the crime itself.

    In essence, an Alford plea is about accepting the legal consequences without admitting personal guilt.

  • Yeah I’m sure I’m not the norm but I’m actually shocked when I see companies advertising their talent’s twitter accounts on tv broadcasts. I truly can’t believe that site is still mainstream after everything that’s happened.

    Idk then I look over and see trump as a presidential candidate and ugh… I guess I’m just still not comfortable/accepting of how far off the rails things have gone 🙁

    • Was it my imagination that most people believed in a 9/11 conspiracy?

    Jump

  • Idk, I am similar to OP I think? From my perspective and memory, almost all of my social circle has some amount of confusion about different parts of the whole attack. Like how the fuck building 7 fell like it did or various aspects of the pentagon plane, or how we ended up in all the countries we did after the attack. But no, they weren’t “truthers” spewing these theories on Facebook or accusing some single government authority as the ones behind it.

    • US Army speaks out against Trump

    Jump

  • Am I crazy? I distinctly remember a military helicopter hovering quite low over protesters in a city and that very much didn’t feel like them telling trump to ‘pound sand’

    Yeah, not crazy: https://www.cnn.com/2021/05/28/politics/pentagon-national-guard-helicopter-dc-protests/index.html

    I appreciate the army’s attempts at trying to stay neutral but from my perspective they were already complicit in the trump regime and I have no faith that they would be any different if he gets another shot.

  • This is my experience with AI, specifically ChatGPT.

    If I ask it questions about how to do technical things I already know how to do, ChatGPT comes off as wildly inept often times.

    However, if I ask it something I don’t know and start working through it’s recommend processes, more often than not I end up where I want to end up. Even with missteps along the way.
