Plea bargaining

Explanation:

Plea bargaining is the process of negotiating an agreement among the defendant, the prosecutor, and the court as to the appropriate plea and associated sentences in a given court case. Through plea bargain, the accused may get reduced sentences and some charges may be dropped and it also reduces the time spent for trial. Another advantage of plea bargaining is that it reduces the tax payers money that would have been spent on a lengthy trial.
