Woman accused of driving drunk, causing Sunday wreck on Highway 1, pleads not guilty

Does anyone ever " man up " and just admit they are guilty anymore?
Do defense attorneys make a deal with their clients to plead not guilty so they can bill the State of California for as much as they can while the case drags on....and on...and on?
Do they promise to give a percentage of their billings back to the clients family? You know...' listen, if you plead guilty, you are done. BUT...plead not guilty and let me drag this out for a few years and earn a bunch of money from the State, and I'll see to it that 15% of my earning go to your ( daughter, son, mother etc...).
I just wish from time to time these people who are guilty as can be would stop this charade of claiming they are not responsible.
But then I wake-up and realize that a person like this piece of trash would not know responsibility if it hit her head-on on highway 1.

I visited the homeless service center the other day. As I walked around person after person I passed was grumbling and cussing. When I stopped to listen to what they were upset about it was that their goverment handout of money (GA, foodstamps, SSI, etc.) was late, or delayed or the paperwork was messed up, or the staff were jerks for screwing up. We have totally set the homeless up so they can stay that way.
Now we have to live with the consequences.

Plead "not guilty"? Are you kidding me? So who did it if it wasn't that Nimrob with the blood alcohol of 3x the legal limit. Come on lady (and I use the term loosely) take RESPONSIBILITY for your actions!!

I have been arrested before and even if you want to plead guilty at your first court date they dont allow you to-they being your defense attorney and the judge. Its wierd but true. They dont actually let you plead guilty intil the day of your peliminary hearing, right before it starts-thats what I did. It is very strange that people like I was who want to just take responsibility and be done with it are not allowed too--I guess the court wants to make money off epople anyway they can....As to this lady, she is just worthless and I wouldnt get your hopes up when it comes to her doing the right thing and pleading guilty! If she thought it was okay to drive in that condition then she probably doesnt even grasp that killing two people wasnt okay either.
