Episode 43

Tonight’s Sidebar dives into the ethics of plea withdrawals - a question courts wrestle with every day.

When should a judge allow a defendant to withdraw a plea? Where’s the line between legitimate misunderstanding and simple buyer’s remorse? How much leverage do prosecutors have when a withdrawn plea turns a misdemeanor back into a felony? And do defendants truly understand the long-term consequences when they say “yes” in court?
