The only reason that Americans supposedly saw it as a “dark day” is the because of the false media narrative.
You can’t get a valid opinion when the public is given false information by the media.
These plea deals are forced on defenseless defendants that are pummeled with trumped up charges, witness intimidation, and evidence tampering. All they get is a bogus public defender who works for the government. No wonder DOJ has a 95% conviction rate. The conviction rate is not evidence of guilt; it’s evidence of the DOJ’s fraud and political persecution.
Even if you "win," it will cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars in attorney fees and court costs that you can't get back. Only the feral government and democidal billionaire psychopaths have pockets that deep.
