Woman Pleads Guilty To Manslaughter and Later Discovers it's Caused By Defective Switch

[jim49er]

There is an interesting case out of Texas where Candice Anderson is suing General Motors over its defective ignition switches. Anderson, however, has more than the usual damages. She is a convicted felon in the death of her fiancé, Mikale Erickson, in November 2004 when she lost control of her 2004 Saturn Ion in Canton, Texas. While she was not drunk or on drugs, the police could not find a reason for the crash so prosecutors charged her with manslaughter. To avoid a longer sentence, she pleaded guilty and was sentenced to five years probation as a felon. Later, however, she learned that her case was on GM’s list of accidents caused by their defective cars – no one bothered to tell her.

This...THIS is why roughly 30 percent of people in prison and almost as many on death row are totally and completely innocent.

Railroaded by cops, prosecutors and feebily defended by PDs, they cop a plea deal because they are told that is the only way to avoid going to prison for the rest of their lives.

Freedom...

And while they are fighting tooth and nail to imprison the legal population of mundanes .... they let out convicted murders and rapists (so long as they are illegals).

When it comes to federal 97% plead. There is a reason for that. It's because there are a billion aggrevances that are added to the initial charge. When one looks at the possibility of 300 years in prison vs. 30 with possibly 20 with good behavior what is one to do?
It's fucked. It's AmeriKa. It's freedom.
The freedom to aquiesse and hope to breath air outside a prison again in ones life or be faced with the odds on favorite of fucking rotting for your lifetime.
I chose neither. And I am deadly serious about it.
