Innocent people, who know they’re innocent, plead guilty all the time in the American “justice” system. It is a regular occurrence. Tens or hundreds of thousands of innocent Americans are in jail, convicted of things they didn’t do.
Smart lawyers advise to plead guilty to charges one is innocent of to avoid being convicted, as well over 90% of federal trials end in conviction. State trials are not much different. Indeed, only 2% of cases even go to trial, as so many plead rather than roll the dice.
Even if innocent.
