Supreme Court Lays Out New Plea Bargain Standards

http://j.mp/GE7cWm  (New York Times)

   "A divided Supreme Court on Wednesday laid out new standards for
    criminal plea bargains, saying defense lawyers must do a competent job
    advising and informing their clients of prosecutors' offers of less
    prison time for convictions and guilty pleas."

Scalia was particularly unhappy about this one.
