    Innocent people have struck plea bargains, and will continue to do so.

    Few can afford the cost of an effective defense against a veritable legal army paid by the government. WSJ had an article recently about the decline of trial by jury; seems the prosecutors load the defendant with so many charges that, should they lose, they'd spend decades in prison. Defendants will usually take the bargain, since they don't fancy spending most of the remainder of their days in a greybar hotel.

    Not fair, but it's the way it is.

    Dupe - this has been an open discussion for a while; her sentencing is covered in the latter posts of this thread - http://www.mdshooters.com/showthread.php?t=66095. edleary1227 posted the suspension of her law license in Post #36. Boondock Saint posted sentencing in Post 41.

    Sorry, I don't have the time to filter thru all the BS in the WC. That thread should have been stickied or something.

    I guess I value my honor and dignity more than she does. Being from PG, I'm sure she got some tips from Jack Johnson.

    No I don't, but what does that have to do with anything? I'm not going to get indicted for 1 charge much less plea out of a whole slew of charges.

    She's taking a plea bargain not an Alfred plea (meaning she maintains innocence but is conceding that the state has enough evidence to prosecute her).

    At least she basically admitted she was wrong. However I actually agree with haloeboy for the 2nd time since I joined here. It doesn't look good at all.

    It was hopeful, an AA female supporting 2A was a great look but this is just like when police get arrested it makes everyone look bad.

    "Stealing from the General Assembly" LOL. Is that like murdering a Manson family member? They steal from us on a daily basis, maybe they deserve to taste their own medicine.

    Dwyer has been an incredible friend to the 2nd Amendment in Maryland. He made a mistake, and there will be consequences for it, but let's not forget that he has always been a friend of the 2A.

    As for the main thread, we don't back candidates, it's outside our charter. She does though display an interest in learning about the issue, whereas other people will text on their phones or star off into space.

    Hey Thanks! :D

    Being a crooked politician from PG and a member of the Legislative Black Caucus, I really don't think she has my best interests at heart concerning the 2-A or anything else in my life for that matter. Yet people have the nerve to call me racist. :sad20:

    Actually during 2a bill hearings she pays attention, listens, asks good questions and sometimes makes connections.

    This is in contrast to others who text, play online or zone out like they don't care.
