Hinson said the plea was the best option he had out of three presented to him by Boone County Prosecuting Attorney Todd Richardson.
He blamed Gov. Nixon's administration and publicity from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch for his guilty plea.
From the Columbia Tribune:
He waived formal arraignment and pleaded guilty to the misdemeanor charge filed Wednesday. Sodergren accepted the deal struck between Hinson’s attorney and Cole County Prosecuting Attorney Mark Richardson to pay a fine of $500 plus court costs.
“He gave me basically three options, and that was the best of the three evils,” Hinson said of Richardson. He did not say what the other possible charges being discussed were.
“The other options were worse,” Hinson said. “You had people from the administration that was pushing for the worse options.”
The accident came to light July 20 when the St. Louis Post-Dispatch obtained a copy of the accident report. “Once that came out, there was a whole lot of pressure put on to do something,” Hinson said.

obama's fault
Nixon couldn't hit water if his giant ass fell out of a boat, let alone get a representative pinched.
Witness his buffoonery at Ferguson.
The DWI event happened on Feb 2 but just recently came to light. How can this guy blame the newspaper for publishing the DWI? Why doesn't he take PERSONAL responsibility (blame himself). Nothing like feeling above the law.
Typical entitled democRAT behavior.

DemocRAT? Um... He's a Republican, isn't he? Or is that sarcasm on your part?
9:58--are you trying to be sarcastic or did you miss that the typical entitled doofus is a Republic?!?
He blamed publicity from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch for his guilty plea...cockroaches don't like the light...
He should have used his Obama phone to have UBER pour him home!
