Answer to Question 1

The prosecutor has a considerable amount of latitude with regard to fulfilling a plea bargain before it is accepted by the Court. However, when the Court accepts the bargain, it becomes formalized, at which point the prosecutor must fulfill his or her promises. In general, the prosecution is bound to its plea-bargaining promises after the Court accepts the bargain.

Answer to Question 2

Defendants may also be motivated to enter pleas as a result of statutory and judicial inducements. Statutory inducements refer to laws that provide lenient sentences in exchange for guilty pleas. Judicial inducements are actions by judges that influence the bargaining process.
