so this is the thing: say that someone murdered another and pleads in court and the judge asks "do u plead guilty or not guilty", if he said guilty, then he lives, if not guilty, then he dies. I dont understand the logic behind that. So if u admit to a crime, the sentence is less harsh, why? You still did the crime, and if there is a death penalty, one should recieve it no matter what. What if the person is not guilty and pleads that? he's basically screwed, is he not? Who difference does it make what you plead, it doesnt change anything. Is it just me or are the courts corrupt in this matter?
