	Personally, if I was guilty I would plead guilty...I'm also the idiot who pays all his traffic tickets while others I know use a lawyer to "get off" even though they know they committed said infraction.<br />
	<br />
	My initial comment was that lawyers who knowingly get guilty people off are sleazy....they're not breaking the law and I'm certain many would say that not only are they just doing their job, that they are doing it well.<br />
	<br />
	And I seriously can not think of any instance when an innocent person should plea bargain a guilty plea.</div></blockquote>

	Then you're not using your imagination very well.<br />
	<br />
	If you're a poor 20 year old kid with a slight build facing a robbery charge and your attorney tells you you can go to trial and probably face 5 years in state prison or you can plea bargain and get 3 months in county jail it's the easiest thing in the world to see why you'd take that deal.<br />
	<br />
	Or you could man up and take your chances.  And end up getting raped and beaten for the next five years while the guards laugh at your complaints.  Or maybe you end up dead or with nice dose of HIV.<br />
	<br />
	Let's not pretend this stuff doesn't happen.  Or that it's hard to understand why people want to avoid it.
