I think if there were ratting, he would have gotten a better deal. This seems almost boilerplate for the offense.
@Jump watched the Killstream where Ralph talked about this, and Ralph seemed low energy. Of course they would quash the warrant after a guilty plea and sentencing. Why wouldn't they? There would be no point in having an active warrant if the plea doesn't involve incarceration.
My take on this is that Sterns County doesn't really care outside of Ralph disobeying a judge's order not to record the procedings. Sorry guys.
What remains to be seen is if he's gonna have buyer's remorse about this, and start ragepigging at Rekieta for not being his lawyer (protip Ralph: You wouldn't want that).
