Heard this crazy story of American "justice" on the Criminal podcast.
A man is arrested for a crime cos the police used AI facial recognition. The man has a solid alibi: he was in hospital cos his child was being born.
6 months later, he pleads guilty. Why? He's been locked up all this time, awaiting trial. The only way he gets to go home to his new baby is to admit to a crime he didn't commit.
This is that craziness @mekkaokereke keeps telling us about.

@bruce @davidnjoku @mekkaokereke It only makes sense if you can't prove your innocence. When I took a plea, it was because they had charged me with a bunch of stuff I hadn't done, but weren't going to let me go. So I had to plead to the thing I had actually done, which was a misdemeanor, much better than the felonies they tried to charge me with.
It's obviously case by case, but I still think it was a bad decision forced upon him.
@wyatt_h_knott @bruce @davidnjoku @mekkaokereke
I think the big argument here is, if it was forced upon him, how much can it be referred to as a decision?

@wyatt_h_knott @davidnjoku @mekkaokereke Winning a lawsuit won't get you back missing out on the first year of watching your kid grow up.
The legal system is also never a guarantee. I've lost in civil hearings despite having what should have been a slam-dunk case.

@wyatt_h_knott @davidnjoku @mekkaokereke He didn’t have a good choice open to him, only different bad ones. It’s easy to sit in the sunshine and say, “He should have taken the other one …”

@fivetonsflax You should keep reading before you keep talking.
Which, if you do, you will discover that I didn't sit in sunshine, I sat in fucking jail. So I'm going to venture that I know VASTLY more about the choices he had to make than you do. -
