My question involves criminal law for the state of: Michigan
If a man SAYS he was giving a female child "rasberries" on her tummy, and someone walked in and accused him of.. doing sometime else with his mouth...
Does it make any sense at all for a lawyer to tell his client that he should plead no contest for this?
The reason I am asking is because this guys lawyer said that if he plead no contest, he would only get 18 months in jail, and if he took it to trial, and was found guilty.. he could spend 20 years in jail.
Is this a realistic scenerio? If it is the mans word against the other persons word.. shouldn't this be something you fight since there is no edivence or proof?
