Plea bargaining is an essential part of the United States criminal justice system and is practiced extensively in the federal, state, and local municipal criminal systems. Plea bargaining occurs when the District Attorney agrees with the defendant or the defendant’s attorney to lower the charge to or to agree to put the defendant on a special rehabilitative program which usually does not carry an imprisonment as part of the sentence and might or might carry a conviction. The advantages of this practice allows the system to heavily reduce the criminal dockets, and for the prosecuting attorneys to concentrate on prosecuting serious crimes in which a plea bargain is no palatable. A trial costs time, resources, and taxpayer money. Bargaining reduces this burden.
Appellate courts help decide how police officers do their jobs. Courts oversee the operations of the criminal justice.
