A plea agreement is a negotiated arrangement between a criminal defendant and a prosecutor in which the defendant agrees to plead “guilty” or “no contest” to some crimes, along with possible conditions, in return for reduction of the severity of the charges, dismissal of some of the charges, or some other benefit to the defendant. A defendant must uphold his or her end of the deal, such as pleading guilty on a particular date, cooperating in the investigation of another offense, or testifying against a co-defendant, or the plea agreement may be revoked.
Entering into plea agreements helps save the time and expense of trials by allowing the prosecutor to obtain guilty pleas in cases that might otherwise go to trial.
