It is simple negotiations.

Ask for the max possible. The defense lawyer is obligated to take this to the defendant. The defendant freaks out.
Settlment plea for less becomes more palitable.

Ask for the max possible.

Come on, where is your common sense? The defendant, through his attorney, ALREADY knows what the max is by virtue of the charges against him. He'll laugh along with his attorney if the prosecutor asks him to plea for the same penalty.
