Actually CD, he had a pretty damn good defense team. But there was just too much evidence (circumstantial, but evidence none-the-less) where he didn't feel confident taking it to trial. I mean if someone came to me and said you can do 3 years no questions asked, OR you can take it to trial and have about a 15% chance of winning. BUT if you lose in trial, you pay the "trial tax" and be sentenced to the maximum penalty law allows. He said he was happier with 3 years than taking a chance, regardless of how good his attorneys are, and getting 20-25 years. All it takes is a jury having a bad day and you just gave up 20+ years of your life.
