Isn't a requirement of a plea deal that the perpetrator admit what they did and that it was wrong? Because about 5 seconds after the plea Rep. Nearman was loudly and proudly declaring he didn't believe he committed a crime or did anything wrong. He didn't want to pay his lawyers to bring this to trial. So he pleaded guilty.

@1 It absolutely is a requirement and it's the judge's responsibility to enforce it.
