Plea Bargaining
Article Abstract:
Reform of the plea bargaining process has created conflict between district attorneys, state legal officials and the federal government. Critics of the process claim that it gives too much power to federal prosecutors. They also argue that plea bargaining is overused, coercing defendants and their attorneys to settle without a thorough investigation.
