From the article by Tony Perry at LA Times. The judge doesn't know the terms of the plea bargain beforehand, evidently

Jones said the plea bargain approved by Lt. Gen. Thomas Waldhauser called for no jail time.

Jones said that he planned to recommend 90 days in the brig, the maximum as requested by the prosecution, but that Waldhauser's approval of the details of the plea bargain trumps that recommendation.

Thanks for the reply. We almost cross-posted. I saw in Walker’s story the same thing you pointed out - - that sick, cowardly scumbag Jones wanted to bring the hammer down on Frank. That pre-approved plea agreement was a smart idea by the defense team, who could obviously see what a piece of shit Jones is.
