Then why did she make a deal at all if she was so assured to beat those charges? I mean seriously what's your theory that she decided that instead of going through a trial that you think she'd apparently clearly win, she decided to make a deal for lesser charges while having to speak truthfully about her involvement in the criminal conspiracy and be prepared to testify. As well as the years of probation, the fine, and likely future loss of her law license.
You think that's what that means? Or maybe and I'm just spit balling, but she was right before her trial was going to start, went "Oh *****! I'm about to go to prison." and made a deal to avoid it.
I mean what do you think a plea deal is?
