then he has the shame of admitting thst he was wrong and he did all the shit everyone said and didn't have an argument for it
Au contraire. This is where the ultracope begins.
Nick's story is going to be that the government totally lied about him and his case
(but we'll never get to hear the State's counterarguments to this accusation), and that they treated him uniquely unfairly
(even though his lawyer couldn't even argue why Nick deserved a Franks hearing), and that the prosecution didn't even really have anything on him
(but we'll never get to see the evidence in a trial to judge for ourselves), and that Nick was only forced to take a plea deal because the State illegally and unfairly put him in this impossible position.
And we'll just have to take his word for all of it.
He's gonna tell us that he took the deal in order to do what's best for his family—sparing his kids from having to be separated rom their drug-addicted dad, sparing them all the stress of worrying about the outcome, sparing them from having to go through a long, costly, difficult, embarrassing trial that the evil State was making it impossible for him to win anyway.
It hurts him deep in his soul to ever have to admit to any State authority that he did something wrong, even if he doesn't mean it, even if he just has to say the words in order to stay out of trouble—but really, he's just doing what's right for his wife and kids, about whom he cares so, so much. He's just looking out for them. They're all that he cares about. He's the hero here for doing that, actually. Taking all of those burdens onto his own skinny shoulders? That's what
real men do. He's a god damned martyr.
Get ready to throw up in your mouths hearing this dishonest shit from him over the next many months.
