Fraud on the part of the prosecutor voids his plea.
This is 10/10 correct.
The prosecutor should be the one begging for mercy.
Failure to turn over exculpatory evidence is extremely serious. And there is no worse sin an attorney can commit than fraud on the tribunal. It’s treated as a bigger violation than breaking attorney-client privilege.
To summarize, a lawyer can lie to absolutely everybody *but* the judge.
Exactly!
For heaven’s sake, the very guy who held back information forced an agreement by withholding the information.
It was a severely flawed process, and this judge just backed the prime offender’s manipulation.
“Just because we now know who the real killer was, you can’t be judged innocent. You waived your Constitutional rights.” Hogwash!
