Trials are expensive for a state or locality. Plea bargains avoid the time and expense of a full jury trial. In a plea bargain, a person charged with an offense may agree to plead guilty to a lesser offense. The attorneys for the defense and the prosecuting attorneys determine what the lesser offense is.
Plea bargains are an agreement in a criminal case between the prosecutor and the defendant that usually involves the defendant pleading guilty in order to receive lesser offense or sentence.
A lesser charge, lighter sentence, and getting everything over with quickly are some benefits of negotiating a plea.
