A federal appeals court has upheld denial of the benefit of a plea bargain to a lawyer-defendant who kept downplaying his responsibility for the crime. Jonathan Saint Preux, a former New Jersey solo, was sentenced to 57 months for submitting false immigration documents, 11 more months than the most he would have received under the plea deal. Saint Preux elected to plead guilty in return for the reduced sentence but "in doing so, he attempted to plead guilty without admitting guilt," the 3rd Circuit wrote.
