Avenatti to unilaterally plead guilty in CA fraud case, asks for setencing



 The only thing that occurs to me is that Avenatti thinks he can get a better result by simply pleading guilty and accepting what the court gives him by way of a sentence than accepting a plea deal acceptable to the government. But (an anticlimactic) wow!

UPDATE: From CNN:

"Mr. Avenatti wishes to plea in order to be accountable; accept responsibility; avoid his former clients being further burdened; save the court and the government significant resources; and save his family from further embarrassment," the court filing said.
