Thank you for basically understanding what I wrote but I do have to say after having witnessed a rape trial first hand in the 70's how stupid some people on juries can be and how convincing that a defense attorney can be that he may not have been able to get a rape conviction. He may have been able to get statutory rape but if you are going for rape and they acquit then you have no recourse to try him again. At least with the plea you know that you definitely have him for something. I was actually appalled at how the defense attorney treated the victim like she deserved what she got and how his client was basically an angel. (besides I am a she).
