Hello girl:
Kudos for supporting your man, but "we" aren't being charged. He is, and you don't know if he did it. The question I have, is the PD suggesting a plea for the sake of expedience, or does he know something that we don't know. And, I don't know if you'll be able to find that out. The PD won't talk to you.
So, I don't know how to advise you... Seems to me, that 8 years in the slam, and registering as a sex offender for the rest of his life, AIN'T a whole lot better than a life sentence. And, I'd NEVER plead guilty when I wasn't. Guilty BEYOND a reasonable doubt is a VERY high hurdle to overcome - IF you have an attorney who is willing to do the work.
If you determine that the PD is just lazy or a bad lawyer, you (your husband) can fire him and have a different lawyer appointed. Certainly, given the seriousness of the impending sanctions, this option must be considered.
