Our Legal System (and what money can buy)

[Benton]

Without being able to read the story, I'm assuming prosecutors were asking for an Alford plea?

Either way, it's a misdemeanor charge, which, honestly, usually doesn't result in a lot. For a guy Kraft's age, many judges would avoid jail time because legally the state is responsible for medical expenses while incarcerated (and without knowing Florida's laws, jail time might never had been an issue).

But, I do agree, the legal system as it is tends to favor those who can afford better representation.
