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.
