{{DYK talk|6 December|2009|... that in an Alford plea a defendant in U.S. criminal court admits there is evidence to support a conviction and enters a guilty plea, while asserting innocence?}}
List of cases that have involved Alford pleas?
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)
Discrepancy in death report of Henry Alford
This article indicates that Alford died in prison in 1975, citing a passage in Brent Turvey's Forensic Victimology. However, the article for North Carolina v. Alford indicates that Alford died in an auto accident, citing an article in the Winston-Salem Journal. They can't both be true about the same man, so either those references allude to different men, or one of them is wrong. Unfortunately, Turvey's book doesn't seem to give a citation for its claim, so that thread ends there for the moment. Any ideas on how to resolve this? BrianTung (talk) 03:15, 26 March 2025 (UTC)
