Question for one of the lawyers on the board: If KC, by some miracle, decides to plead guilty to the murder of her child, doesn't that take the DP off the table? Isn't LWOP the most she can get, at that point?
As I understand it, that is one of the reasons defendants will sometimes plead guilty at some point along the way; to avoid the DP.
TIA!
Quoted myself...LOL
I'm actually referring to if KC changes her plea from 'not-guilty' to 'guilty'.... not if the SA offers her a plea.... I'm not convinced the SA would offer her a plea....
So I guess what I'm asking is this: Can you please elaborate as to the procedure if KC changes her plea of her own accord and not with a plea offer from the State.
Thank you!
