No doubt. Most criminal cases never even get to a jury. Very few. Common Criminals normally plea bargain. Casey was offered various lesser charge pleas by the State.. She chose to face a Murder 1 trial. How does that square with the Howling Lynch Mob demanding Justice for Caylee? They make me sick.
Back when I was in high school a wealthy black girl started attending school with us in the middle of the year.
It turns out that her father was a court appointed attorney for 3 men who raped and murdered a girl working alone in a dairy queen. The appointed attorney had to move his family to whiteytown to hide his family from the angry mob.
