Should I Just Plead Guilty?
FAQ - Should I Just Plead Guilty?
No!...Although this decision must be made by you, in most cases, there is nothing to gain by just pleading guilty. When a person pleads guilty, they are putting all giving away all their power and ability to negotiate. Pleading not guilty will allow a defendant to discover what evidence the prosecution has against them and how solid their charges are. In some cases, the evidence may be very weak and worth fighting in court. A resolution can also be negotiated for a lesser charge or penalty. The best course of action is typically to plead not guilty and contact an experienced attorney.
