They take an Alford plea to avoid a harsher sentence that could come at trial and/or they’re 1000% sure they’re innocent but can’t prove it (yet).

When a person enters an Alford plea, they maintain their innocence but acknowledge that the prosecution has enough evidence to likely convict them if the case went to trial. In contrast, a guilty plea is an outright admission of guilt.
An Alford plea allows a defendant to avoid the risk of a harsher sentence at trial while not admitting to the crime itself.
In essence, an Alford plea is about accepting the legal consequences without admitting personal guilt.
Fairly certain it’s just an OS crash but good luck getting apple support to help confirm that 🙄
I think shuttering it would have saved more of his credibility than whatever the fuck this is he’s doing.

No it’s more like:
Go to trial = no plea deal at all = risking harsher sentence OR you know you can prove your innocence
Guilty plea = accepting full responsibility for the crime and accepting the prosecutions deal of (usually) a lesser sentence to skip the trial and go straight to punishment.
Alford plea = same as above but maintaining that you are innocent of the charges but cannot prove that against the prosecutions evidence.
As others have stated, an Alford plea often has to be approved or accepted by the judge or prosecutors so it’s not always an option for everyone.
