Sorry if I was unclear.
I was referring to a wager.

Because if I can rush the sentencing through my dad will pardon me. Wanna put some money where your mouth is? Tarp, first of all I am not a gambler, my wife takes care of that . I have other vices. Even if I was a gambler, I would never gamble on anything that has to do with politics. I just state opinions and quite often I am wrong, unfortunately.

Fair enough. We're all wrong from time to time.

The procecutors are telling the judge to not accept it. The guilty plea has been accepted. The Alford plea was not.
Also, it's spelled "prosecutors".

That doesn’t compute. There’s not a separate “guilty” plea from the Alford plea. They’re one in the same. The Alford plea is just a “best interest” guilty plea (which is what we call them in Florida).

The Alford plea is just a “best interest” guilty plea (which is what we call them in Florida). He just does grammar. There isn't much there besides that. I also do reading and am happy to cite my sources (and unafraid to defend my words!). You and BB might even try it sometime. To wit:
...
Hunter Biden had originally pleaded not guilty to a nine-count indictment that included six misdemeanor charges of failure to pay, plus a felony tax evasion charge and two felony charges of filing false returns.
But on Thursday, just moments before prospective jurors were to be summoned into the Los Angeles courtroom where his trial was scheduled to begin, Abbe Lowell, an attorney for Hunter Biden, announced his intention to submit a so-called "Alford plea," which would allow Hunter Biden to plead guilty on all counts but preclude him from acknowledging guilt on the underlying conduct.
When prosecutors opposed that path -- and Judge Scarsi expressed some hesitation in granting it -- attorneys for Hunter Biden said he would enter a traditional guilty plea.
"Mr. Biden is prepared to proceed today and finish this," Lowell said Thursday afternoon in court.
In pleading guilty to the tax charges, Hunter Biden managed to avoid what was expected to be a grueling and potentially embarrassing weekslong trial, during which prosecutors had planned to examine interludes from his time as a drug addict and his overseas business ventures.
...
As usual, BB was only giving you part of the story, and, again as usual, you had nothing substantive to add in defense of your favorite contrarian except 3rd grade ad hominem.
Now that we've cleared that up, do you or Bullfrog have any more questions....or shall I taunt you a second time?

An Alford plea is a guilty plea. The implication of your statement is that the judge rejected the best interest guilty plea. It appears what actually happened is the prosecutors caused a stink on principle and Biden decided “hey, I want to do this today, so I’ll just fully admit guilt with no reservations so this won’t be delayed.” Rushing through to get the plea in timely, as the first post of the thread suggests. You’re only correct that the judge didn’t accept the Alford plea because Biden withdrew it from consideration so Biden could plea right then.

He has no fear of pleading guilty. I wonder why? 🤔

Wonder how the sentence will compare with what Trump gets for the same offense. Except Trump's tax offense is much larger. Of course.

You typed all of to still be wrong about what you thought you were correcting. Just like cadboy, you create a false narrative and then present an argument against it.
