As you said in a post earlier, Mixon acknowledged the video evidence of him punching the woman was enough to result in his conviction.
Everyone on the Planet knew he did it and as I said earlier, this plea is legal mumbo jumbo that allows Mixon to acknowledge that the Court has him by the nads and the video evidence will lead to a conviction should the trial go forward. Mixon joins the crowd and acknowledges that the video evidence will result in his conviction and is allowed to do so via the Alford plea which is a GUILTY plea whereby a defendant in a criminal case does not admit to the criminal act and asserts innocence.
That defendant does and did, however, admit that the video evidence would have led to him being found GUILTY, thus the reason why the Alford plea falls under the Guilty plea umbrella.
Mr Brown was right when he said that Mixon pleaded Guilty. Mixon did so via the Alford Guilty plea.
Now you need to Apologize to Mike Brown.
Come on now, "apologize" to Mike.
Apologiiiiiiiiiiiize.... :heart:
A guilty plea is a "yeah, I did it" plea.
An Alford plea is a "no, I didn't do it, but you got me on tape doing it" plea. It's the Shaggy "It Wasn't Me" of plea deals.
It's like my wife asking me, "Did you go to the Cheetah strip club last night."
"No, I didn't go to the Cheetah Club last night."
Because I went to Tattletales instead. What I told her is 100% correct,but it isn't honest, either
