Broken Judicial System


Broken Judicial System

 Dear Girlfriend:

 The plea bargain option should be taken off the table of options in the courts.

 
Because:

 
(1) Scare tactics are used to frighten defendants into accepting a plea or copping a plea. For example, the prosecutor will offer a 10 year plea bargain in place of a life sentence; in exchange for the defendants agreement not to go to trial. (that's whether that defendant committed the crime or not.). Many times a guilty or not guilty defendant cannot afford a private attorney; so they are given a public defender by the courts. One would think that this is a great deal; and it would be if the public defender would honestly defend; rather than forcing innocent defendants to take a plea bargain that the prosecutor offers. Hence, who is the public defender working for the prosecutor or the defendant? I'm just asking.

 

(2) A defendant is supposed to receive a FAIR trial for their alleged crimes; but instead, the reality is, the defendant never goes to a trial at all. They are pressured by the public defender to accept a plea from the prosecutor; NOT for the betterment of the defendant; but rather to help the prosecutor and to keep the courts from being congested. I'm just saying.

 

It is a disgrace that the prisons and jails ate filled with many innocent people because of lazy, overwhelmed public defenders and ambitious prosecutors. ANOTHER FACTOR TO THE BROKEN JUDICIAL SYSTEM!
