DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican - I'd probably have taken the deal too. Nobody is blamed for that. Quote Stanley Mcstanley @reverendcaptain While this is an inspiring story, and I can understand why it would make you want to endorse him, I want to point out that many people who find themselves being pressured to accept a guilty plea, in many different situations, do so because they face total destruction otherwise. Only point I’m making is that we need to always try to understand the circumstances surrounding a guilty plea. The justice system often puts people in impossible situations where they have no choice but take a lower charge. https://x.com/DataRepublican/status/2056379221673648517
