Week 2 - Discussion
Plea Bargaining
As you learned in
your readings this week, a vast majority of criminal cases are resolved through
plea bargaining. Evaluate when plea bargaining can occur, the ethics of plea
bargaining, and how plea bargaining affects the criminal justice process.
Speculate on what would happen to the criminal justice system without plea
bargaining, and propose alternatives to the plea bargaining process to enhance
justice and efficiency to the criminal justice process. It is recommended that
your post contain approximately 400 words.
Guided Response:
Many students lament the
fact that well over 90% of criminal cases in the United States are resolved
through plea agreement. Somehow, there is a notion of “unfairness” for a case
to not go to trial. Pragmatically, would it be possible to try every criminal
case charged? Why or why not? If court systems are backed logged currently,
would increasing the number of cases which go to trials more than nine times
allow for a “speedy trial” guaranteed in the Sixth Amendment to the
constitution? Why or why not? Review your colleagues’ posts, and substantively
respond to at least two of your peers.
