I apologize if there is a better place to put this question, or if it has been asked before (I havent had time to read everything) but here goes....
If the Boulder DA's office wants to charge or feels they have enough to charge Karr, and Karr wants to plead guilty, what happens then? I thought if you pleaded guilty to something then it didnt go to a trial, you were just sentenced and that was that. I realize if it is a death sentence there is an automatic appeal, but what if it is just life or some variation on that?
If the client isnt contesting anything, does the DA have to show what evidence they have?
I know he's a nut, and I realize he is dangerous and belongs at the very least in a treatment facility, but I would hate to see this pinned on him if he didnt do it. It means the real culprit is still out there.
TIA
