As "crime" is simple:
- do not steal
- do not kill
- do not do damage to a property or body.
That's how we as individuals think of it. But the state's take is "breach any of the piles vague laws we have" as additional, tactical bullet point.
Did Samourai devs did something like that? NO
So why they plead guilty then?
To avoid being sentenced for longer periods on the fourth bullet point.
All the rest is another story that can be rebutted easily in a court.
Being able to rebut does not guarantee not getting sentenced for it, or something else where laws are vague enough to convince a jury.
The GA must have had enough vague points to potentially get a much worse outcome.
Not everyone is willing to roll the dice. Otherwise insurance companies would look very different today.
The GA offered them "insurance" of a shorter sentence if they'd rather not roll the dice on a much longer one.
But if you do what lawyers says... you are doomed.
I'm inclined to agree. But in distress and without the knowledge to help themselves, people will seek council. To make matters worse, they won't be able to tell good from bad council except for old "reviews" of past outcomes.
Not everyone is willing to roll the dice.
That's the difference between people with balls (sovereign) and cowards (slaves).
If I know I didn't committed any crime I will die defending MYSELF (not with lawyers) and never plead (bargain) anything.

I have no issue with that.
But I also expect very few people to choose that path.
And that's the only reason why I disagreed with your initial blanket statement:
A man that is innocent of any crime will NEVER EVER plead guilty, no matter what.
I think that is true for very few people and that most will be inclined to take the deal.
They'd rather spend less time in, or take a deal for a more comfortable period of incarceration than risk it all in a claim for their own sovereignty (which they can't enforce).
In this case, the state wanted them to ask for a less severe spanking for having shown an interest in breaking free.
It's a classic abusive relationship with a state we're all born into, trained to accept and, heck, in many cases even defend.
which they can't enforce
You are wrong. You do not have to "enforce" it, just defend your status and jurisdiction.

Now come the other question: if somebody PLEAD guilty, so in other words recognize the wrong, WHY in the hell I have to try to pardon him?
All this with petitions, protest, signatures etc is just a cheap useless theater, virtue signaling that serve absolutely nothing. PATHETIC BEGGING.

I'll have to read through that. But I've seen, more than once, how the jurisdiction was "managed" to fall where the prosecutors want it to fall.
One such example I read about was with a dark net market where investigators tasked someone in DC to buy a banned substance so they can claim there now was a "victim" there. They knew they'd get a better chance at conviction in DC. And it worked.
State declares its own actions as above board, et voila, you can have your jurisdiction and conviction.

There's nothing to pardon. I never asked for that.
virtue signaling that serve absolutely nothing.
Agreed.
Yes. Because the judicial system is NOT to protect the individual.
But you must learn how to defend and rebut their authority.

But if you do what lawyers says... you are doomed.
Where did I say that?
Yes, because you tried to put words in my mouth that I didn't said.
NEVER plead. Simple as that.
Pleading means bargain... When you are in a court and fall into bargaining trap, you are done, you are fucked, you lost in the 1st second, no matter you are guilty or not.
