Not that I give a crap. Let the wheels of justice turn.

But, apparently, the Hunter legal team did what is called an Alford plea. Not quite sure I get it (i.e. acknowledging there is enough evidence for conviction while maintaining innocence?). Evidently, it is a strategy to encourage plea negotiations. Not sure why the prosecution would negotiate if the defense is acknowledging there is enough evidence to convict.
