So, after charges have been filed, after the jury has been selected, and after the trial has started, sometimes we hear about plea deals.

You don't think that is any different than talking about a plea deal by someone who has not been charged with anything?

[longtermmemmory]

this is pre-filing. Soliciting a guilty plea is probative of the ultimate charges.

If it gets to court TV the Jury is seated and the Jury is not privy to the plea negotiations.

The particulary troubliing fact here is that the SA portrays these letters as a unique. Such exchanges are routine. Such exchanges are routinely kept confidential. As in always.
