So, probably not the best advice…  |
Seeing what happened to those that did plead “not guilty”, it probably is good advice.

Hope this helps…

Doesn’t help. Not an opinion.
But not to worry you’re not obligated to provide one.
But just say you don’t want to give an opinion rather than try to side step it.

That’s an answer to a question that wasn’t asked.
I asked whether you think she specifically should be jail for 2.5 years for her “offence”
The answer to that specific question is yes or no.
