Testifying and Plea Deals

[Rodimus]

You never have the Defendant testify. It puts him or her at risk of incriminating himself, perjuring himself, and looking bad to the jurors. It is the Defendant's Constitutional Right not to testify and incriminate himself.

Also, if you are a Defendant, you never take a plea deal. It is the Defendant's Constitutional Right to have a trial. If you take a plea deal and plead guilty to a felony, you have to register as a felon, which puts the Defendant in all sorts of trouble legally if he or she breaks a rule that all felons must obey. Even if you get convicted, you can appeal. If you take a plea deal, you can never appeal as part of the agreement with the prosecutor.

Plea deals are tricky. You have to have a lawyer that is as greasy, slimy, and slippery as they come......in order for one to get the best deal possible. Otherwise you are not only admitting defeat, you are admitting guilt.

A lot of times they will fuck you twice as hard if you lose after refusing a deal.

that's true but you can appeal. if u take a plea deal to a felony charge , you will have to register as a felon and there are a whole lot of punitive things that come along with being a felon. it is lifelong.
