Are you aware what percentage of people go to trial? People can absolutely be compelled to take a plea deal; for financial reasons, for family reasons, for the sheer horror that is jail. If you aren't even going to acknowledge that possibility, I'm not sure it's worth discussing. It's absolutely coercive. It's designed that way.

Of course undercover is different, they're out in the wild so to speak. If you can't see how that's different, again, I think you're being disingenuous. They're two very different things.

A suspect in a burglary is told they are caught on camera and the only suspect. They didn't do it but take a plea deal which gives less time because they're terrified of the evidence they think exists, even if they know they only walked by at the wrong time.

Should they be compelled to take a plea deal for that reason?

Yeah my grandpa used to paint m, especially after he retired and he taught me about reference photos.

I remember being so excited. I can't picture things in my head so this opened up a whole new world of possibilities for me. It seems very obvious now but as a kid... Not so much lol
