How does the plea bargain process help the prosecution? The defendant? The People? Answer 2: A plea bargain is a process where a criminal defendant and prosecutor each reach a mutually satisfactory disposition of a criminal case, with the courts approval. With a plea bargain it can conclude a criminal case a lot faster without a trail.
While it can be hard to understand why someone would falsely confess to a crime, psychological research has provided some answers and DNA exonerations have proven that the problem is more widespread than many people think. In approximately 25% of the wrongful convictions overturned with DNA evidence, defendants made false confessions, admissions or statements to law enforcement officials. In some false confession cases, details of the crime are inadvertently communicated to a suspect by police during questioning. Later, when a suspect knows these details, the police take the knowledge as evidence of guilt. Often, threats or promises are made to the suspect off camera and then the camera is turned on for a false confession.
Prosecutors are responsible to make sure the guilty person is prosecuted and that innocent people are protected from unwarranted prosecution. Prosecutors decide which types of plea bargains to enter and can ask the court to dismiss the charges. Prosecutors have more discretion than any other legal person including judges. A prosecutor’s position is much more difficult than portrayed on television. On television, the prosecutor, or ADA comes in tries the case and leaves.
John Schwartz wrote an article called "Confessing to Crime, but Innocent" that had appeared in The New York Times on September 14, 2010. When more than 40 innocent people have confessed to crimes that they did not commit and were sentence in prisons for a period of time and later found to be innocent. This article describes new research that helps shed light on why innocent people might confess to a crime they did not commit. The author cautions against overstating the problem of false confessions and the point that not obtaining the confession of a guilty person poses a greater threat. According to the article, "experts have long known that some kinds of people -- including the mentally impaired, the mentally ill, the young and the easily led -- are the likeliest to be induced to confess."
The victim was harassed by co-workers and obviously quite embarrassed. The victim pressed charges against both Medlantic and Tijuana Goldring. Medlantic was found guilty for breach of confidential relationship and was made to pay the victim two hundred and fifty thousand dollars. However, Tijuana was not found guilty of invasion of privacy because the disclosure was not within the scope of Goldring’s employment with WHC. Medlantic filed a motion for judgment arguing that Doe’s claims were barred by the statute of limitations.
24 of these were allocated to the experimental group and 15 were put in a control group. This experiment took part in a modern university building and the experiment lasted about 30 minutes. The participants were given the role of an interviewer and ordered to harass a ‘job applicant’, who was actually a confederate, to make him nervous during a test to determine if he would be capable of the job. The participants thought the experiments were researching the relationship between psychological stress and test achievement, they were also told that the applicant did not know the real purpose of the study they heard the applicant being told that poor performance on the test would not affect their job prospects and that the job being applied for was real. The applicant, listening via a speaker in a different room, had to answer 32 multiple-choice questions read out in four sets by the interviewer.
A private attorney, secured by the defendant, often takes advantage of this situation. With a much lighter caseload, they have the time, expertise, and motivation to look for flaws in the cases (Hurtibise). This is motivation for the prosecution to either drop or reduce the charges in order to concentrate on cases that deal with more serious charges. A special DUI unit should be set up in the court specifically for DUI prosecution giving prosecutors the same advantages as defense attorneys. To alleviate the taxpayer of having to pay the cost of this new unit, the defendant should pay the cost if he/she is convicted of the DUI.
