in an Alford please the defendant admits that there's enough evidence to convict, but does not admit guilt. The judge then enters a plea of guilty.

It's always sounded weaselly to me, but there it is.

No doubt a Supreme Court opinion carving out yet another fact based legal conclusion whose legacy we enjoy for decades.......
