> No, but this feels scummy.

I don't get the it's bad implied in the article.

Let's say it's a rape, and the victim dies, what's really changed?

You can hate the idea of plea bargains, but that's a different topic.

They admit they are guilty, so proceed on.

If it means they are screwed in challenging it later or in sentencing it might matter, but it doesn't seem the case.

Otherwise, very boring examples. Nicola Gobbo was a criminal lawyer and a police informant at the same time, but hasn't been charged with anything, I feel like there would be a interesting example in there somewhere. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicola_Gobbo
