Donn Baker, the attorney for Alred, said, 'My client goes to church every
Sunday. That isn’t going to be a problem for him.'”
I suppose sentencing a person who likes broccoli to eat broccoli falls
under the heading of harmless error. But if he decides to stop going to
church at some point in the next ten years and they try to revoke him for
that violation, I hope he calls the ACLU.

Unconstitutional, but the only person with standing to complain isn’t
complaining. And it may be that few defendants offered this deal would
complain. Refusing, getting sent to prison, and attacking your sentence on
the grounds of how it was arrived it, would be a costly and risky way to
litigate.
