| | Plea bargain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Plea bargaining is a significant part of the criminal justice system in the United States—the vast majority of criminal cases in the United States are settled by plea bargain rather than by a jury trial. | | | Plea bargains are subject to the approval of the court. | | | Plea bargaining is extremely difficult in jurisdictions based on civil law. |

| | This court, with Justice McLaren dissenting, determined that "even though the [plea] agreement did not specifically provide a sentence or a cap on a sentence, the agreement did present sentencing possibilities to the defendant that were not available to the defendant under the original indictment." ÃÃKnowlesÄÄ, slip op. | | | The court concluded that allowing the defendant to unilaterally modify the agreement while binding the State to the terms of the agreement would violate the policy set forth by the supreme court in ÃÃLinderÄÄ and ÃÃEvansÄÄ. | | | Therefore, the defendant was not attempting to unilaterally modify "the agreement," and the State was not bound to the terms of the "agreement" because no agreement existed as to sentence. |
