| | The Problem with Plea Bargaining |
| | To the extent that the attorney loses bail arguments or pre-trial motions to suppress, a defendant's faith in the powers of his lawyer and/or the integrity of the system is eroded to the point where resistance seems futile. | | | Lengthy pre-trial incarceration further weakens and demoralizes a defendant and increases the coercive aspects of plea bargaining (particularly where, as in the case of many indigent defendants unable to post bail, taking a plea is the only sure way to regain personal freedom). | | | The system functions like a gigantic extortion racket in which the attorney plays the role of "bagman," the person who transmits the threats (under the guise of legal advice) and collects the payment (the plea). |
