Answer to Question 2

A count bargain is when the defendant has more than one charge and the prosecutor agrees to drop one or more of the charges in exchange for a guilty plea. A charge bargain is when a defendant pleads guilty to a less serious offense. For example, a person may have initially been charged with drug trafficking but pleads guilty to intent to sell. A third type of plea agreement is called a sentence bargain. With this type of bargain, the defendant typically pleas to the original charge or charges (i.e., termed a plea on the nose) in exchange for a promise of leniency in sentencing. Often times the three types of bargains work in conjunction with each other.
