Judge Cannot Force Plea
Summary
A judge cannot force you to sign a plea agreement; it must be voluntary. If you feel pressured, inform your attorney or the court. If your public defender is not adequately representing you, consider requesting a Marsden Hearing to discuss your concerns. For issues with police harassment, document incidents and consider filing a complaint with Internal Affairs. Post-conviction relief can be sought for constitutional violations, such as cruel and unusual punishment. To prove a sentence is disproportionate, compare it to similar cases, highlight mitigating factors, and note any bias. If judges are biased, file a complaint with the Arizona Commission on Judicial Conduct. For CPS worker investigations, contact the Arizona Office of the Ombudsman-Citizens’ Aide. If a blood test was forced without consent or a warrant, it may be a rights violation.Full Conversation
