Church demands the victim apologize to pastor's wife since the pastor did the rape.

I didn't say that plea deals never happen. Enjoy beating that straw man around, though.

What you said was.

A guilty plea is a sign of overwhelming evidence pointing to guilt.

This is clearly false.

Furthermore your statement of:

So yeah, would you plead guilty to a false charge of rape, knowing that a dismissal is possible?

I wouldn't. When I die, the only thing I'll leave behind is my good name -- and I'll defend that, especially against false charges. Your mileage seems to vary.

Implies that people pleading guilty to crimes they didn't commit is some sort of anomaly. People plead guilty to crimes they didn't commit quite frequently.

The 31 individuals listed below pled guilty to crimes they didn’t commit— usually seeking to avoid the potential for a long sentence (or a death sentence). They served a combined total of more than 150 years in prison before they were exonerated:

As for what my links demonstrate, they show that charges can and do get dropped in these sorts of cases. I had thought that much would be obvious.

No, the only thing obvious from your links was that the cases are dropped if the "victim" decides to recant... What if they don't?

The links you need to post are ones that show someone actually to have been tried for rape and found innocent.
