Article is wordy to the point of being unreadable
[edit]Most of the article consists of defining the concept over and over in different words. Many different people are quoted giving their own definition; all the definitions having the same meaning.
I tried to find any other information in the article, but every section seems to be infected with this definition-mania.
I don't know anything on the topic so I don't know which definitions to keep and which to remove. But I do know that this article is badly in need of an overhaul. InspectorMendel (talk) 12:31, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
List of cases that have involved Alford pleas?
[edit]Would it be useful to add a list of cases that had Alford pleas? Some are already mentioned in the body of the article, but more would illustrate what kinds of cases use Alford pleas. Pete unseth (talk) 19:45, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
