Nobody can make you plead guilty. Full stop.
Every person charged with a crime has the right to a trial. The burden of proof falls entirely on the government. Prosecutors must prove every element of every charge beyond a reasonable doubt — the highest legal standard in the American justice system, and the one that protects innocent people from wrongful conviction.
What Is a Plea Deal?
At some point in most criminal cases, the prosecution will offer to resolve your case without going to trial. Whether to accept it is a serious decision. Don’t make it alone. Ask these questions:
- What are the terms, and what exactly are you agreeing to?
- How strong is the prosecution’s case?
- What are the realistic risks of going to trial?
- Are you actually guilty of what you’re charged with?
When Trial Makes Sense
If you didn’t commit the crime, or if the prosecution won’t negotiate a fair deal, take it to a judge or jury. Going to trial means making the government prove its case.
Krizman Law will help you evaluate every offer and take your case to trial when that’s what it takes.
