Should You Accept a Plea Deal From a Prosecutor

Añadido: 2026-05-25

[00:00:00]97% of federal cases plead, no trial.

[00:00:03]Sometimes innocent people plead guilty.

[00:00:06]And the reason why they plead guilty is because there's the threat by prosecutors by not pleading the potential prison sentence after a trial will be double, triple, or quadruple of what they're offering you now. The impact on family and friends. I've seen prosecutors threaten to indict family members if you don't plead to the charge. The physical, financial toll it takes on someone results in accepting a plea deal instead of going to trial.
