The Dilemma of Plea Agreements: A controversial "get out of jail free" card that will leave lasting scars on criminal records that last forever & can't always be covered up, removed or even blurred on a persons background check either. Sometimes they stay front & center for potential employers, landlords & creditors to see when they pull up a background check to help them decide if the applicant is worth the risk or not even worth a call back to tell them to look elsewhere for a break because the mistake they made in taking a plea in a case they caught years ago... It haunts them still! And that's all it is, too! A mistake! A mistake that can cripple a man or woman in their ability to make it through the mud at the bottom levels in this life & rise up out of the lower class muck to a middle class existence that a mistake will keep out of reach forever! Is that fair? Is that right? No? Well, it's not going to matter what it is as long as it's the truth about the American Justice System.
