Oh, well, you just blew it, Pat! It doesn’t matter what you have on the Los Angeles Times; they’ll just say, “He missed his deadline!”

I just saw this. I didn’t know where else to put it but, since it so directly intersects the discussions here (at Patterico) about plea bargaining, I thought I should post it somewhere.
It is from Aftenposten, an online, english available, Norwegian news outlet.
“Norway’s Supreme Court is opposed to the introduction of plea bargaining.
False confessions feared
Norway’s Supreme Court fear that deals for reduced sentencing will result in false confessions and differential treatment.
Currently a full confession in criminal cases can result in a reduced sentence, but it is up to the discretion of the judiciary if the punishment should in fact be reduced.
Now Minister of Justice Knut Storberget has suggested the introduction of plea bargaining – that the prosecution can reward those who confess by agreeing a deal for reduced punishment before the case reaches the courts, news agency ANB reports.
Supreme Court justices are extremely skeptical to the introduction of plea bargaining and believe it will create the danger of differential treatment, allowing the resourceful to negotiate better deals than others.
“There is the additional danger that arrangements that “pay” for a confession can act as an unfortunate coercion tactic for someone who is in fact charged yet innocent, but afraid of not being believed,” the Supreme Court’s office said in a statement.
The judges also believe the proposal erodes the division between prosecution and judiciary.”
