    From what I have read, he was looking to avoid a trial. The last trial had some rather embarrassing details come out about his life while on drugs, and this trial might have included his kids as well.

    Earlier today, it was reported that he was trying to plead to some weird condition where he still denied the charges, but admitted there was enough evidence to convict so they should just skip the trial and go straight to the sentencing. I guess the judge wasn’t having any of that.

          I suppose that’s why they mentioned the Alford plea by name in the article itself…
