Reply To: Pollard in light of Missouri v. Frye, 10-444 and Lafler v. Cooper, 10-209

(1) Not all prisoners. Over 90 percent. In the actual court decision Kennedy wrote “the simple reality that 97 percent of federal convictions and 94 percent of state convictions are the result of guilty pleas”.

(2) He may have been advised, but his was advised poorly, i.e. did he know the government can break a deal. Was he advised that people outside the deal could effect the sentencing?
