Answer:A plea bargain

Explanation:

A plea bargain refers to a negotiation that is made between a defendant and a prosecutor in which a defendant is advised to plead guilty so that they can get a lesser sentences than when they don't plead guilty. This may go along with some conditions such as doing community service. A plea deal gives some benefits to a defendant that will lessen what would have been a worse penalty for their action. This is however dependent on the condition that a defendant will not break any conditions mentioned under a plea deal.

Plea bargain are accused of being a way of letting guilty guys go free, when a person who isn't actual guilt plead guilty to a crime they didn't commit.
