If Joe Justice wants to get the deal done with Jim Lawbreaker, what options does he have in terms of bringing charges against him? I am not sure about the options the Joe Justice has regarding making a deal with Jim Lawbreaker, I think that the one of the charges would be accessory to commit a crime, and since he wasn’t the main character in the robbery and I think that in order to get to the main culprit the deal that Jim Lawbreaker attorney is offering is fair since the results of the lab tests are incomplete and a statement from Jim will help the prosecutor make sure that Martin goes to jail for the crime. The evidence does not place Lawbreaker on the scene and no witnesses can place him there either. 2. Does Joe Justice have enough evidence to take a case against Slick Martin to grand
With a plea bargain it can conclude a criminal case a lot faster without a trail. In a plea bargain the prosecutor will offer a plea and if the defendant takes it then he/ she will plead guilty without having to go to through a trial. Once the defendant accepts the plea the prosecutor will most likely dismiss certain charges or make sentence recommendation to the court. Once the attorney and the prosecutor have reached an agreement they bring it up to the defendant to see if they want to take the deal or not and that is called plea negotiations. A plea bargain can help a prosecutor by it saves the court valuable time for high-priority cases.
With the defendant they get a shot at leniency from the judge. Then there are some that say plea bargaining is unconstitutional. “Plea bargaining rests on the constitutional fiction that our government does not retaliate against individuals who wish to exercise their right to trial by jury.” (Lynch, The Case Against Plea Bargaining, 2003). essentially this means if the defendant believes in their innocence and want to go to trial the will be punished for standing up for their constitutional rights. It is my belief that plea bargaining is an utter necessity, and though it may not seem just at all times; we as a society can see how hectic the court would be if all cases were brought to trial.
The fact that the prosecutor works in the interests of the state can be seen as the underlying factor here. The prosecutor can get away with misconduct; because if it were proven that the prosecutor was actually responsible for misconduct it would greatly undermine the goal of the state, which is to seek justice. If the prosecutor is misconducting themselves then it gives the impression that the prosecutor is not interested in justice, but more so a conviction, whether it be done so legally and ethically, or not. Prosecutorial misconduct happens, and
Once defendant agrees, if he does, then the plea bargain is presented to a judge. If the judge accepts the plea barain and he speaks with the defendant to make sure he/she is making a “knowing and intelligent” plea, then the defendant will be sentenced. If the defendant or judge refuse to enter into a plea then the case is taken to trial. Prosecution Benefits One of the biggest benefits to the prosecution from a plea bargain is that it is an assured conviction. Also, plea bargains allow prosecuters to protect government informants, which most likely have criminal records.
Just as it has been since the antebellum era, crimes that cross class lines (i.e., ones that rich people often commit too) will never see harsh mandatory minimum sentencing laws. Child molesting and drunk driving are two examples of this. No one will openly argue that child molesters or drunk drivers deserve a break, as opposed to the poor blacks, whites and Hispanics who possess five grams of crack and get sent to federal prison for five
Plea bargaining exist for juvenile and adult offenders. A trial in juvenile court is different from trial in an adult court. A plea bargain is an agreement between the prosecution and the defense by which the defendant agrees to plead guilty for certain considerations, such as a lenient sentence. They both have this process in courts. In juvenile court a plea bargain hinges on a juvenile's compliance with certain conditions.
Afterwards the arraignment is opened in court to make sure the defendant has a copy of their indictment, after the indictment is read and the defendant is asked to give a plea whether guilty or not guilty. A this time the defendant can waive his appearance for the arraignment if signed by both the defendant and the counsel. The written waiver is signed by both affirming that the defendant received a copy of the indictment stating the plea is not guilty, and the court has to accept the signed
“The more our government sanctions torture, the more that high-level officials do not face censure, the more our democracy erodes”(Cusac 141). Regardless, the effectiveness of certain interrogation methods, under the International Law, it is not acceptable. The actions that exemplify crime and punishment are not appropriate on television. We need to stop supporting this kind of entertainment on television, and protect our society from being influenced through televisions message. The need to show that there are rules and rights of humans rather than television being in contradiction of the human rights side of our
