Diverdan, you wrote: "A no-contest plea doesn't mean Jack S***. If the District Attorney has a solid case on someone, the DA would not allow a plea of no-contest because a conviction would be assured."

I know you're a cop, so I know you know better than to make such a statement. The truth is this: Yes, McBride was on felony probation but no, technically he does not have a criminal conviction. It's called a "plea bargain," and it's the kind of deal that prosecutors frequently offer first offenders, particularly non-violent white-collar thieves.

It's your own business if you want to be an apologist for McBride, but don't try to tell the hundreds of thousands of people who have gone to jail after pleading no-contest to a crime that "a no-contest plea doesn't mean Jack S***."

mean Jack S***. If the District Attorney has a solid case on someone, the DA would not allow a plea of no-contest because a conviction would be assured.

that statement is totally wrong.
i know because
30 years ago i was caught on the wrong boat.

i was guilty, hands down . the prosecution would have had no problem with a conviction.
but through the checkbook justice system the guilt was withheld and i was sentenced to probation.

i pleaded no contest because there wasnt one.

just like in richs case.

ure involved with law enforcement????

WRONG - A no contest plea is NOT an admission of guilt, it is a statement that you don't wish to contend with what is presented FOR WHATEVER REASON. This is frequently done when you don't have the resources to fight the charge, accept whatever restitution is stated and not the original outrageous claim, or do not wish to drag the matter on any longer. I thought we were over this months ago. Take if from someone who knows. A no-contest plea doesn't mean Jack

u are joking here, right??

if u were truely innocent would u really plead no contest?
and pay restitution?

would any of u?


congrats on your dive dan, but u might want to stick to diving.
