@@nordvestgaming1238 - I chose to reply to this subject here so at least it won’t be innundated by thousands of other replies. You’re right about the function of the defense attorney in cases like this. Plainly put, someone has to handle the criminal’s paperwork if he’s going to be executed. The approach to defense in a case like this is going to be relatively passive. A defense lawyer doesn’t have to lie, and they can go a long way to persuade the defendant’s acceptance of the situation as you said. There’s a lot that goes on outside of court & there are things to be sorted out, like property, pets, family members, etc. The defense attorney is still a liaison in these cases, otherwise there would just be that much more hardship for the community.

[@RashawnBlue1]

@@nordvestgaming1238 This is wrong, the attorney is supposed to do everything they can to first have charges dropped first and foremost... dependent on the significance of the evidence they counsel the defendant on their chances to defeat a trial. It ultimately is up to the defendant, but attorney have a heavy hand. The next step is dependent on case, to reduce the possible punishment to client may receive. I don't know anything about this case (popped up in YT), so I don't know if this is a paid lawyer or court appointed. I know I would never want a public defender for example because chances are higher, they talk a person into a guilty plea despite whether or not they could defeat a prosecution and just go through the motions if the defendant chose to go to trial. This is in part due to their heavy case load and some of them just being "beginners". If the attorney isn't doing what I mentioned above whether you are guilty or not, whether they think (or know) you are guilty or not, then you have a bad attorney. Yes indeed it does suck to know that one may have actually saved a murderer, rapist, and/or child abuser from punishment, but if the prosecution couldn't prove it to the jury, then so be it. It's the only way we can put some type of (still flawed) safeguards up to prevent wrongful convictions even if it means guilty can go free.

I know right… When it comes to murder cases, and cases even worse (like this one), I always say that there’s the actual victim of the crime - the one who was murdered, obviously. But they aren’t the only one victim. The parents that lost their child in such a horrible and painful way have been murdered too, a part of them at least. And that applies not just to the parents, but everyone who loved the victim dearly. Losing a loved one is terrible pain in itself, but knowing how much they had to suffer before dying just makes everything so much more painful… And for what…? All for a couple minutes of enjoyment for a sick monster. I hope that the family can recover, as much as possible. I hope they manage to find peace.

You must not be familiar with the criminal justice system. I've worked in the Florida criminal justice system for 25 years. It is not light on criminals. Your belief that it is goes against reality. More than 95% of people (approximately) take a plea. Many defendants are overcharged from the beginning, some are completely innocent. They are so afraid of going to trial because of the draconian consequences that they opt for the plea. You might be shocked to see the weak evidence that constitutes so many cases. There is a ton more I could write but I don't think anything I could say would convince you.

[@tapasyatyaga4041]

Imagine being unable to afford the $500 premium on a $5000 bond!!! You sit in jail. The State now has you by the balls. So you take a plea. Sure, the plea may be ADJ CTS (adjudication and credit for time served). Now you are a convicted felon. There are about 100 negative collateral consequences to being a convicted felon. And don't get me started on drug possession where people are addicts. Such people would not be criminalized and would be treated medically in any civilized nation like the countries of Europe for example. Now a person is an addict and possibly has mental illness issues and on top of all of that he becomes a convicted felon. Is this justice? And I am not even a liberal. I am a Conservative!
