We cheered for a vigilante who presumably shot a health insurance CEO to death, too.

    Yes they do. A quick search would have spared you this particular, "living under a rock," take.

    Feel free to prove me wrong then. But admitting to a crime you didn't commit isn't something that happens regularly.

    You just lowered the bar*, but the US DOJ routinely reports that up to 50% to 60% of people that take a plea deal are actually innocent upon further review of the actual evidence.

    Plea deals are how about 90% of all cases in the US are settled, with the innocent accused pleading guilty to a crime they didn't commit, so they get a better deal than a jury and judge will give them if they are found guilty.

    Again, I am not going to give you more than crumbs. You can find all this data with a quick search.

    *Lowered the bar in this case is equivalent to moving the goalposts in my favor.

    Cool, how many of them took a plea deal for killing someone?
