“The real solution is to abolish the plea deal...”
It’s a bad idea.
First, without plea deals, the cost to the taxpayers who pay for the courts, the prosecutors and in many cases the defense teams would increase exponentially.
Second, courts would get so backed-up that defendant’s 6th Amendment rights would be violated.
Third, many other crimes, that would otherwise be solved from information obtained in plea deals, would never be solved.
Finally, the prosecutors would have no choice but to drop charges on most all defendants.
So basically an ironic piece about unintended consequences.
