DUDE
An Aspen man who was arrested in May for driving drunk and carrying a jar of cocaine entered a guilty plea yesterday for possession of marijuana, which he was not accused of.

This kind of shenanigans goes on all the time in court. I just covered one the other day where a bank teller had admitted to stealing more than $8,500 from her register over a period of several months.
She pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor count of theft of property less than $500. Apparently because she had paid most of the money back before her arraignment.
I blame global cooling....

I'm sort of in favor of that kind of deal where the accused is not dealing or dangerous. The last I knew it cost us taxpayers about $50K per year to keep somebody in prison.

I'm siding with Cat on this. A jar of cocaine?

*evisions Granny in the kitchen putting up Mason jars of cocaine*
That's just wrong.

Hey this is Aspen, the same set of rules don't apply there as for the rest of us poor mortals.

He was probably carrying a jar of these

What I like is when the defendant (usually someone who is not the sharpest tool in the shed) tries to plead guilty at his initial arraignment and the judges and public defender won't let him....
Judge: How do you plead?
Def: Guilty!
Judge: Uh... No. You need to speak with your attorney...
Def: Why? He wasn't there.
Judge: So we will be entering a not guilty plea.
Def: WHY? I did it. Seriously. I totally did it.
Judge: we're gonna take a short recess now....

Hey, works for me! I mean, OJ can plead guilty to robbing some poor schmuck of sports memorabilia and go to jail for life for killing his ex-wife and Ron Goldman... DONE! Potato/potato...

Whatever happened to the salt shaker half full on cocaine?
And two bags of grass . . .
And seventy five pellets of mescaline . . .

Maybe the cops kept the cocaine and said, "Remember? You just had some pot? Is it coming back to you now?"

Like the lady said...crack is wack.
