text: No I have not idea what the actual facts of this case were. What I am able to do is to engage my own critical thinking skills and combine them with 2 individuals who were victims of Lane County Justice during the last few years. Both were overcharged with M11 crimes and both were effectively denied bail, both were jailed based upon he said she said evidence only for 3-6 months of their lives (one of them even passed a polygraph) and both were ultimately released after they agreed to plead guilty to guess what... coercion. 
  
  When the DA offers up a 3 -6 mo time served sentence when the suspect was originally charged with M11 8 yrs + serve everyday charges then 1 of 2 things have happened: 1) they were overcharged to start with and 2) They likely didn't do it and opted to take the deal and the felony instead of rolling the big dice that could have effectively ended their lives. I don't live in Lane Cty but as an Oregonian I don't want people overcharged and guilty pleas extorted
