You said in that same post that Mike stated that Mixon "pleaded guilty in court".
Then you said that was a LIE and based calling it a lie on the Alford plea not being a guilty plea.
It is actually also called the Alford Guilty Plea.
Alford plea = "a GUILTY plea whereby a defendant in a criminal case does not admit to the criminal act and asserts innocence.
Read your own words in post #34.
Ever the Mike Brown apologist.
A guilty plea means you formally admit you committed the crime for which you are accused.
While an Alford plea is an admission the court has enough evidence to convict, but you don't admit you committed a criminal act while you maintain your innocence.
As you see, there is a bit of a difference between a guilty plea and an Alford plea. If they were the same then there wouldn't be a need to have a Alford plea and a guilty plea. Because if they were the same then we would have a guilty plea and a guilty plea. It would just be silly to have a guilty plea and another guilty plea.
So Mike Brown's intent was to deliberately mislead his fan base into thinking Mixon admitted he committed the criminal act and wasn't innocent unlike his actual Alford plea by omitting information IOT put a positive PR spin on another questionable decision. Or Mike Brown is misinformed lawyer who doesn't know the distinction between the two pleas and doesn't do his homework on his draft picks beforehand instead of a GM in obvious damage control mode.
So he is either a liar or stupid.
