13. He can only avoid trial if he pleads guilty to as many counts as
Fitzgerald demands he plead guilty to.
Libby, at this moment, has no prior felony record at all! You'll find that "white collar" types don't want to have even ONE felony conviction (and of course a guilty plea IS a conviction), even if they are offered straight probation and no jail time!
People w/o criminal records take one single conviction much more seriously than do those who've previously racked up some criminal conviction (be it felony or misdemeanor).
I firmly believe that Libby does not want to plead guilty to ANY felony.
But he will HAVE to plead guilty to at least one felony (and probably more than one) if he wishes to avoid a trial.
Therefore: there will be a trial. A trial is required BY LAW to be public.
