Answer to Question 1

The court is not bound to accept a plea agreement. In deciding whether to accept the bargain, the Court weighs the sometimes competing interests of the agreement and the public interest. Thus, if accepting a plea agreement poses a significant risk to the public say, because a dangerous criminal will be spared prison and placed on probation then the Court has the discretion to deny it.

Answer to Question 2

In Brady, the first Supreme Court case to condone plea bargaining, the Court considered extent pressure may be applied to induce a defendant into entering a guilty plea. The defendant in Brady was charged with kidnapping under a statute that permitted (1) a jury to recommend the death penalty if it saw fit or (2) a judge to sentence the defendant to life in prison, if guilt was determined via a bench trial.

Did you know?

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
