plea deals

A plea deal, also known as a plea bargain, is an agreement in a criminal case where the defendant agrees to plead guilty to a lesser charge or to one of multiple charges in exchange for concessions from the prosecutor, such as reduced sentencing or dropped charges. Plea deals help to resolve cases more quickly than going to trial and are a common practice in the criminal justice system.
