If this account is accurate, "which I have doubts about", he was innocent and never should have acquiesced to plead to a crime he did not commit. A "Good" attorney would never call his clients desire to profess his innocence "Stupid", and your friend may have some recourse to sue that attorney. I don't know the real facts of that case but I will say this, truth always percolates to the surface and it would have in this case if your friend had been steadfast in his profession of innocence.

As his attorney said it was his word against the police. In this situation things could go very badly and he could end up in jail and with a felony permanantly on his record and never own a gun, hunt or fish. When they went to trial the attorney said he would garantee nothing and if the cops kept to their statements he would probably lose. He could garantee that he could put it all behind him in 2 years if he took the deal. It was sound advice for a bad situation.

Yeah I have read quite a few articles about that happening - after 20 years and DNA evidence!

Keep believing the police hook line and sinker. These SWAT guys and military wannabees are destroying the moral authority of the real police who patrol the streets.

I have read through most of this thread and have read your posts wihtout comment, that is until your comments posted in #363. You are a buffoon, and apparently serve in the capacity of an LEO, much to the detriment of the community you so poorly serve.
