What is a plea bargain in criminal law? It is an agreement between a defendant and a
prosecutor, in which the defendant agrees to plead guilty or perhaps “no
contest” in exchange for an agreement by the prosecutor to drop one or more
charges, reduce a charge to a less serious offense, or recommend to the judge a
specific sentence that the defense finds agreeable.
To be sure, it is a delicate dance. As criminal courts become more and more
crowded, prosecutors as well as judges feel increased pressure to move cases
quickly through the system. Think of it
this way…a criminal trial can take days, weeks, or sometimes months, while plea
deals can often be arranged in minutes.
However, they don’t just happen unless you obtain aggressive
representation in an Ohio criminal court.
