The History of Plea Bargaining in America

George fisherca: Should prosecutors be elected, or should they be appointed? Plea bargaing intends to get kicked around by a lot of commentators. I think what we should be focusing on instead is reforming plea bargaining and making it as fair as possible. If you save us the time and trouble of trial and the sheer flutiness of a not guilty verdict, even after solid trial than proves beyond reasonable doubt the guilt of the defendantwl will give you something back. And for defendants, that's a good deal.
