plea bargaining
plea bargaining the practice by which the prosecutor will alter the indictment in exchange for a guilty plea. In England there are guide- lines under Practice Direction (Court of Appeal) [1976] LR 561. It takes place in Scotland too. In the USA, in some states, the judge may be party to the bargain offering the accused a more certain range of sentence.
