A SelectSmart.com Law Selector by Circuit Court Attorney, created September 2011.
Deciding whether or not to take a plea or go to trial in any criminal case is a serious matter that ought to be discussed with an attorney. This is for amusement purposes only, but it does raise important issues that you ought to discuss with your attorney. This is not legal advice! Do not provide personal or identifying information. Disclaimer.

The first question is below.

1. Are you guilty of the alleged offense?

I am completely innocent

I am innocent of the main charges, but am guilty of some minor charges

I don't know remember what I did, but the facts don't look too good for me

Yeah, I pretty much did it.

I did it and they don't even know half the shit I did in this case.

Prioritize your choice above:


High	Medium	Low

2. Do you feel strongly against entering a plea if you are innocent?

I would never lie to the court.

I don't like taking a plea to something that I didn't do, but sometimes you have to.

I am not sure or have no opinion

There is nothing wrong with an Alford plea.

Prioritize your choice above:


High	Medium	Low

3. Was the plea agreement offered by the prosecutor or judge fair?

Yeah, it is a great offer.

It is fair, but I still don't like it.

I don't know, maybe.

It doesn't seem fair to me.

Straight from the bowls of hell, this offer is on par with Sophie's choice.

Prioritize your choice above:


High	Medium	Low

4. Do you have confidence in the trial ability of your attorney?

He is the best trial lawyer around.

He seems like he knows what he is doing.

I have some concerns about the guy.

I think it might be his first day.

Prioritize your choice above:


High	Medium	Low

5. Do you believe that the prosecutor will do a good job at trial?

He sounds like he just got back from the Methadone clinic.

He looks a bit nervous.

He looks pretty good.

Shit, I wish this guy were my attorney.

Prioritize your choice above:


High	Medium	Low

6. Do you believe that the witnesses for the State will show and testify against you?

They are all out of State or dead.

They have my back and know how to hide from the Court.

Maybe, maybe not. They don't give a shit, but might respond to a summons.

Yeah, probably.

These people hate me and will be at every court appearance.

Prioritize your choice above:


High	Medium	Low

7. Does your attorney believe that you should go to trial?

He is pleading with me not to.

He thinks we shouldn't but says its my choice.

He says there are advantages and disadvantages to both.

He thinks we have some good issues.

He is screaming at me to pick a jury.

Prioritize your choice above:


High	Medium	Low

8. If you go to trial and lose will the sentence likely be disproportionate to the plea offer?

No, I will get pretty much the same result.

Maybe a little more time, but nothing serious

I don't know and can't make an educated guess.

I will go a much worse sentence if I lose at trial.

As compared to a plea, if I lose at trial my life is over.

Prioritize your choice above:


High	Medium	Low

9. Will your family be better off if you accept a plea?

A little better

Won't make a difference.

No, they are screwed either way.

I don't care about my family or don't have one.

Prioritize your choice above:


High	Medium	Low

10. Are there long-term consequences to a guilty finding, such as deportation, violating probation, loss of job, or having to register as a sex offender?

Yeah, but I am not too worried.

Yes and I am concerned.

I am screwed if I take a plea or are found guilty at trial.

Prioritize your choice above:


High	Medium	Low
