“Wins can come in every shape and size. Some are trial wins. Some are dismissals. Some are plea agreements with the best possible terms.”
Understanding the Norgaard Plea
A Norgaard plea is a unique type of guilty plea utilized in Minnesota. This plea allows defendants to plead guilty to a crime while acknowledging that they cannot remember committing the act. Such circumstances often arise when individuals are under the influence of alcohol or drugs at the time of the crime, impairing their memory of the events.
By entering a Norgaard plea, the defendant essentially admits that there is sufficient evidence to prove their guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, despite their lack of recollection concerning the incident. This type of plea acknowledges the strength of the prosecution’s evidence while framing the defendant's state of mind at the time of the crime.
In the case highlighted in Bring Me the News, Jack highlights the use of this Norgaard plea in a double murder case out of St. Paul, MN. Understanding how these pleas are used and when they may best apply is a a critical aspect of defending a client in a serious criminal case like a murder charge.
