If only I didn't have sigs disabled, I could join in the hilarity. Oh well, it's worth missing out on the occasional lulz if it means I never have to see another twenty line sig full of FFXI stats.

Well.
Nope, they were supposed to be convex, literally popping out of the page at you. I guess I'm not the only one that can't focus my eyes right.
On the other hand, there's some optical illusions everyone can appreciate.

Posted: Aug 17 2010 at 10:58 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) lol, sorry about that.. anyways, did you see my reference above in regards to the plea bargains? According to that source, you can theoretically do one at anytime, pending on the court and jurisdiction. I would assume that most people do one to avoid the trial all together as you stated. Every source I looked up said that majority of all cases (90% I think) ends in a plea bargain.

I feel like an ASCII Goatse would be appropriate for this thread.

I seriously doubt it. All normaly accepted posting conventions appear to have been thrown out for this thread. So go for your life!
In fact it seems to be existing in its own completely seperate dimension. Its almost evolved into an autonomous life-form.
Note. I did not say 'intelligent' life-form.

No, the prosecutor can "do" one at any time. "You" can't, unless you're a prosecutor. Also, habeas corpus and nolo contendere must be satisfied before anyone can approach the magistrate on a Tuesday and perform the plea ceremony. If the codifications are violated, then the court has the right to invoke a mandatory writ of impediment and the offenders are deemed to be in double jeopardy. You should know this stuff, Alma. It's fUcking simple.

A plea bargain is always initiated by the side with the power to do so: the side that has a bargain to offer. That would be the prosecutor.
It isn't semantics. It's reality. And if you were using your head for anything besides a vehicle for puzzled expressions, you should have been able to suss that out for yourself, seriously.

I read pages 1, 2, 21, and 22, but anyway...before I went to prison, when I told my private (expensive) defender what ACTUALLY happened, she approached the prosecution and said basically "it will save us a lot of time and energy, not to mention money, if we drop these two charges, plead guilty to these charges, and allow him to go to prison on this date, which would make him eligible for boot camp, and an early release."
Just saying is all.
ETA: Also, the prosecution will sometimes throw in extra charges that they don't really care about, but MIGHT be able to win, in order to get the defendant to plead guilty to a lesser charge/fewer charges, thereby still giving them the upper hand.

At this point people are dissecting words just to find some error just to say "you're wrong". Yet, somehow, when I correct people for saying "equality" as opposed to "fairness", people yell SEMANTICS...

1. I didn't pull the "Semantics Card" in reference to who actually initiates the plea bargain, I said that I already knew that much information when I originally looked the word up. My gripe was that you all have abandoned the concept purposely just to try to find some erroneous writing that might imply something incorrect.
2. The plea bargain is an agreement between the two parties, that was the emphasis, not that the prosecutor is the one to initiate it. That's why I said that I didn't know that the prosecutors can do agreements with themselves, because the emphasis was on the agreement.
This is where the defendant's lawyer is fighting to reduce any fines, penalties,etc. in order to make it as fair as possible for the client. This is opposed to the lawyer fighting for the client's innocence, which is why I differentiated the two in the first place.
