kids at school and the neighborhood knew bullied robert mercilessly and he was terrified of them. surely, he wouldn't help them murder the neighbor lady. yet, rocky fugett was going to tell the court just that. >> his lawyer advised me that rocky wanted to get a favorable sentencing and was going to be testifying against robert. >> so big problems. rosenfield knew from long experience that any jury hearing rocky's testimony and robert's confession would certainly convict. robert would very probably get a life sentence, no parole. robert's only chance at ever getting out of prison was to agree to something called an alfred plea. >> we told robert that, if you plead guilty under an alfred plea, you admit there is sufficient evidence to prove your guilt but you do not admit that you're guilty. >> it meant accepting a 23-year prison sentence. it meant he could never file an appeal.
