A few of the points by legal experts in the two-part (1 hr) hour program are:

• Sheriff Carona states at the outset he believes the Federal Court system is fair.
• Is the Federal system free from politics regarding who to prosecute and who not to?
• Legal experts raise signifigant issues with the sentencing guidelines and plea agreements that they say are unfair.
• Innocent defendants are forced to plead guilty to avoid “Draconian” sentences handed out under the Federal guidelines
• Defendants who plead guilty are also forced to waive their right to appeal harsh sentences
• Vast majority of defendants who plead innocent are found guilty of crimes not related to their indictments. i.e. (perjury, obstructing justice, etc.)...the reason, it is too difficult for the Feds to prove their case on initial charges.
• An astounding 95 to 97 % of all individuals Indicted plead guilty in the Federal system
