Ellis pleaded guilty to one count of aiding and abetting false statements, according to Fulton County court documents.
The former attorney was sentenced to five years probation, 100 hours of community service, must pay $5,000 restitution and write an apology letter. She will also have to testify if the state calls her.
“In the frenetic pace of attempting to raise challenges to the election in several states, including Georgia, I failed to do my due diligence. I believe in and value election integrity. If I knew then what I know now, I would have declined to represent Donald Trump in these post election challenges,” Ellis read from a letter in court.
Or plead not guilty if they have no evidence. It's generally how the legal system works
On principle, I agree. And I'd like to think I'd hold to that principle myself if ever faced with that decision. Pragmatically, the legal system is not fair, and there's a chance you get fucked over hard. That's why they overcharge you and hope to whittle you down to pleading to a lesser charge.
All 4 guilty pleas demonstrate that this is definitely a political persecution of Trump.
3 od the 4 were charged with 7 or more felonies carrying with them a combined total of over 100 years in prison. Each accused of helping to undermine democracy in a seditious criminal conspiracy to subvert the US rule of law. Seems serious, right? But if you take a plea, you'll get no jail time and a $5000 fine.
They were accused of being a part of a criminal conspiracy to commit crimes worse than capital murder, but taking a plea gets them less punishment than a simple assault.
The Communist Jews have taken over america. They are now persecuting resistors just like they did in the Soviet union. They are basically making it illegal to be anti-semitic just like they did in the Soviet union. They haven't given it to death penalty yet but they'll put you in prison and make sure some prisoner gets paid to kill you or something.
I've always disliked the idea of plea deals. They're simply blackmail. When you're threatened with hundreds of years in prison if you by chance or convicted in the state where you think the jury is probably going to be hostile to you then there is no way you can freely and openly make it decision like the court requires to make a plea deal. When she goes to court she'll have to testify or say to the judge that she freely and did it without any undue influence but that will be a lie as all plea deals are done under undue influence of threats of very long jail terms.
