Crim Pro, Redux

A while back, I posted a bit on criminal law, dealing with the mostly (fortunately) unasked "how can you defend those people?" question. My answer delved a bit into the mechanics of criminal procedure. As a followup, there was an interesting article on one of those notorious female teacher/male student cases, which touches briefly on why someone receives a plea deal even when there is significant evidence for conviction as charged.

As a followup to the followup, a second article touches on the same case, as there were charges in two counties.
