It will take someone public with a high profile (like Alex) to start bringing this type of behavior to light. Joe Q Public needs to be made aware, however, that this is NOT an isolated incident and that million of citizens across this screwed up nation are subject to this kind of treatment EVERY DAY, regardless of circumstance, situation or appropriateness (the pregnant woman, or the child!) The Gestapo is alive and well and living in the corporate United States. Abuse of power and strong-arm tactics abound. We need to study and comprehend this whole Coercion and threat towards plea bargains as well. That is BB major tactic these days -- if people know it or not -- Cop a plea or spend the rest of your life behind bars. How much easier does their job become when one voluntarily accepts the burden of their contract so they need not be liable (the complaint or information the A- Turn-ya-over-y, files), and to boot the good old boys club of the Bar takes care of their own so if you are foolish enough to believe one of these Turn coats will assist and protect you -- you are in for a very rude awakening!
My thought in regards to plea bargains, and maybe, David, you could chime in here -- is that it says right in their laws and codes that any attorney that causes a party to give false testimony is guilty of a criminal act and should be punished. Is this not EXACTLY what a plea bargain is? TCD to give false statement of guilt under threat to body? I can't lay my hands on the exact law, but I will continue to search. Meanwhile, how many are in prison because they were Threated, etc to "plea bargain" on a false charge?
