Plea Bargaining Video Transcript:

 

People have all sorts of different ideas about plea bargaining. But it is the way most criminal cases are resolved - just like most civil cases are resolved by settlement agreement.

A jury trial always involves lots of uncertainty - maybe you’ll be acquitted, or maybe you’ll be found guilty. With a plea agreement, in many cases you’ll be able to know what is going to happen.
