Here are just few of the points made by the legal experts on the one-hour program:
Sheriff Carona states at the outset he believes the Federal Court system is fair.
Is the Federal system free from politics regarding who to prosecute and who not to?
"Legal experts raise significant issues with the sentencing guidelines and plea agreements that they say are unfair"
"Defendants who plead guilty are forced to waive their right to appeal harsh sentences"
"Many defendants who plead innocent are found guilty of crimes not related to their indictments. i.e. (perjury, obstructing justice, etc.) ... the reason, it is too difficult for the Feds to prove their case on initial charges."
"An astounding 95 to 97 % of all individuals Indicted plead guilty in the Federal system"
