Once, your friend made that plea bargain, I think that the Ticket Slayer documents became useless. These document deal with personal jurisdiction, they attempt to prevent the court from gaining jurisdiction. However, there are others that know much more about Ticket Slayer, perhaps they will chime in.

Here is a very good documentary on the topic:

Courts like plea bargains, because it saves time and effort. Once a guily plea is entered, there is no need for a trial. However, the innocent are often coerced into these agreements.

How could a doctor's report be harmful to the victim?

When he was told that his evidence was not going to be allowed in court, he got scared and signed the plea bargain. He recieced 18mo. to 15 yrs. He would have faced 15yrs to life if it went to court and he lost. (Very likely with no evidence) There was no evidence on the side of the accuser. . . only heresay.

I hope that this makes sense. . . I am new to this.

Has your friend considered an appeal?

Was he represented by an attorney? If so, why didn't the attorney object to what the judge was suggesting?
