Saved by illiteracy! The advantage of such a t-shirt is that "plead" is a present tense verb, and so your statemet is a direct address imperative telling Karla what you think she should do: "Karla, plead guilty!" -- the comma marking direct address is the only way to make this statement correct given the tense of the verb "plead". In other words you haven't broken the ban, although you were trying hard. (If you wanted to tell people that you believe she pleaded guilty you should have written: "Karla Homolka pleaded guilty.")
