[QUOTE="Mgarza_a, post: 2091651, member: 10976"] Prosecutors should engage in plea negotiations I'm not disputing that. My comment was directed at how those negotiations are employed. You can take 2 years deferred and be labeled a felon (even if your innocent) or take it to trial and face 10 years. While its true that beyond a reasonable doubt is the highest standard in a court of law, I think many defendants either lack the means for a well practiced attorney or frankly scared to take the chance of being convicted. Therefore it becomes easier for the judicial system to churn out convictions regardless of guilt. I agreed that not all prosecutors are in practice for conviction rate, but lets not pretend that DA's get elected on their "fair" application of the laws either. My original point was that this gentleman should never have been caught in the situation in the first place. He was innocent yet they still convened a grand jury despite his pleas of innocence. How did it make it that far in the first place? There is simply not enough accountability when it comes to false accusations. And yes Tin Star the accuser should have to pay restitution. My response was to Baron not the op. Thanks [/QUOTE]
