Anyone familiar with our criminal justice system is aware of how many times people are coerced into making guilty pleas. This law would’ve made it easier to right that particular injustice, but New York’s Governor just vetoed it. That doesn’t make her “tough on crime,” it just makes her tough on justice.

The sad truth is our jails are so over run they couldn't handle the throughput. Almost every accused pleads "not guilty." The court system creates enormous back logs. Guys take pleas just to go home & save their homes. It is definitely coercion & its definitely not justice.
