In the cases where ineffective counsel can be proven, this can be grounds to negate the waiver of an appeal that is included in a plea agreement. i would imagine the bar is pretty high.
Now while this is the case here in CA but I do not know anything about Florida.
Here is a recent case here
I would think the bar is also as high in FL judging by the way Judge S questioned KC today, asking her if she was happy with her council, did she fully understand what was happening, was she on any medication or drugs. I personally feel she is guilty by what I have seen in the doc dumps, but will freely admit that it is mostly circumstantial evidence and interpretation of behaviors that are not of the norm. If KC were to accept a plea and allocute, many people, myself included, wouldn't believe her anyway. She has told too many lies at this point so anything she says will be suspect and most likely doubted. It is for this reason that I am hoping for something solid. Something that removes any doubt about her guilt. But, unless this is in the FBI reports that were spoken of today, I haven't seen it, and a plea may be the best to hope for. MOO
