Legal Advice on Accepting a PleaIn a courtroom, when a defendant is asked to plea guilty or innocent, the judge is the ruling officer who determines if the plea is acceptable. For example, in a trial where a man was charged of Capital Murder, the man may have originally plead guilty, but may laterin court--profess his innocence, claiming threats from legal representatives were made against him. The judge then was responsible to determine if the accusations were in fact true; and if the substantial evidence pending against the defendant was sufficient to accept the plea of guilt.Thus, few judges may accept the plea if the judge feels it is not necessary for a jury or the public to hear the details of the case. The defendant then appears in court and may be offered a plea bargain, or in some cases no plea bargaining is offered. Thus, this man made the biggest mistake of his life, since he professed his innocence while pleading guilty of the charge. Facing the death penalty, the man is standing between the law and God, and praying that the higher source will come through for him. (Check the Alford Case for more details, and Steinberger 1985) Pleas are accepted then by the residing judge in the courtroom. If you are accused of a crimeno matter how minor it may seem--it is important to learn more about pleas, since pleas are what determines your appearance. If you are innocent of a crime, regardless of threats coming from legal representations, do not plea guilty. Rather, force the courts to weigh out the evidence in a public court to determine your guilt. Remember, the laws work in reverse. When the courts says you are innocent until guilt is proven beyond a doubt, what the courts are really saying is you are guilty until innocence is proven beyond a doubt.
