Sample question: referring to course materials and the text, discuss what plea bargaining is, how it is used, and the range of views commonly held about it. Plea bargaining is the venereal disease of the criminal justice system. Plea bargaining is the grease that keeps the justice system running. Plea bargaining has no place in a decent criminal justice system. Plea bargaining is inevitable in any system of justice. What we"re doing is treating people as half guilty & giving them half the sentence they would receive if they were really guilty. 3 constant elements: always a guilty plea, bargain granted only if accused agrees to plead guilty in exchange, bargain is result of express negotiations.
