Fields is not the first obviously innocent man to plead guilty.

Don't know if they have the death penalty there🤔,but he likely plead out,agreeing 2 guilty plea 2 avoid the death penalty.☠️I think in cases like this, it should apply,putting them down like the rabbid dogs they are.😷

Too bad he's not black. Charges would be dropped and everything forgotten. BlackPrivilege
