I'm glad his marriage wasn't over.
I disagree with the social worker's "what do I do to keep my family together" and "what do I do to stay out of jail" rule. People who are accused of crimes say all sorts of things and that pertains to both the innocent and the guilty. That's one reason the legal system does not solely or primarily rely on hunches and "if the person says this" rules.
There are people who professionally and personally believe the cons of plea bargaining far outweigh the pros. As for this thread, the question I have been wondering is what are the criteria for when/why the general sentiment/general discourse should hold onto potential innocence even after a guilty verdict?
