Answer to Question 1

An Alford plea is a plea in which the defendant claims innocence yet pleads guilty
for other reasons. It is important because it allows a defendant to plead guilty
knowing that if credited with the time he has already served in jail, he will
immediately be set free.

Answer to Question 2

The five legal issues in plea bargaining are:
(1) Should a prosecutor's promise to a defendant to induce a guilty plea be kept?
(2) Is the defendant entitled to a lawyer during the plea bargaining process?
(3) How much evidence should the prosecutors disclose in plea bargaining?
(4) What constitutes an involuntary plea?
(5) Should plea bargaining be prohibited by law?
