Answer to Question 1

Answer: A

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Good answers will focus on the extraordinary concessions that defendants accept as part of prosecutors plea offers. Such concessions include: special terms of probation, defendants agreeing to perform special acts (e.g., testifying in codefendants trials), unauthorized punishments, state agreeing to an unauthorized benefit (e.g., sealing the record), and pleading to a crime unrelated to the charges offense. Students position should be supported in light of the purposes of plea bargaining and whether  ad hoc bargaining furthers those purposes.
