An innocent man would never plead guilty

There is a great comment I came across at http://www.criminaldefenseblog.blogspot.com/.
On my blog I have mentioned the importance of talking to an attorney as soon as possible. Brian Tannenbaum, a Florida defense attorney, illustrates this point very well in the context of the Larry Craig (Rep Senator from Idaho):
“People are screaming why an innocent man would plea guilty. That makes me laugh, hard. Happens every day folks. He said he “wanted to make it go away,” and it did. For a while at least.
Now he says he wasn’t guilty, shouldn’t have pled guilty and is, hey, hiring a lawyer to withdraw his plea. I don’t know the law in Minnesota, but I bet it’s too late.
Too late Larry.”
The moral of the story..:
remember Larry Craig…and don’t Stall when hiring an attorney.
