rolled-up plea

A quick definition of rolled-up plea:

A rolled-up plea is when someone accused of a crime says they are guilty or not guilty in court. It's like answering a question about whether they did something wrong or not. Sometimes, a person can make a deal with the prosecutor and agree to plead guilty in exchange for a lighter punishment. If they plead guilty, it means they admit to doing the crime. If they plead not guilty, it means they say they didn't do it and the prosecutor has to prove they did.

A more thorough explanation:

A rolled-up plea is a type of plea in which a defendant pleads guilty to multiple charges at once, rather than entering separate pleas for each charge. This type of plea is also known as a "global plea" or "package plea".

For example, if a defendant is facing charges for robbery, assault, and drug possession, they may choose to enter a rolled-up plea in which they plead guilty to all three charges at once, rather than entering separate pleas for each charge.

This type of plea can be beneficial for both the defendant and the prosecution, as it can save time and resources by avoiding multiple trials and negotiations. However, it is important for the defendant to fully understand the consequences of a rolled-up plea and to consult with their attorney before making a decision.

@windyMagician: not at all. Michigan is also very generous with aid, so if you get enough it makes perfect sense to take it.

I’m sure you’ll get good merit aid though. Look at Michigan’s 509 report. They’re very generous.
