Professor John Pfaff was quoted in the Daily Mail (UK) where he discusses how the new oddly worded ruling in Arizona utterly ignores the reality of plea bargaining.
‘So court’s emphasis on as-applied challenges seems misplaced—seems to ignore reality of plea bargaining,’ Pfaff tweeted on Friday.
‘I also wonder if it’ll operate even more in the shadows: “take this plea for the drug deal or we’ll tack on sexual abuse of your child,”‘ he added.
