	Plea Bargains - Findlaw for the Public -
		For both the government and the defendant, the decision to enter into (or not enter into) a plea bargain may be based on the seriousness of the alleged crime, the strength of the evidence in the case, and the prospects of a guilty verdict at trial.
		Plea bargains are generally encouraged by the court system, and have become something of a necessity due to overburdened criminal court calendars and overcrowded jails.
		To illustrate how a "plea bargain" might be reached in a criminal case: suppose Dan is arrested and charged with two counts of aggravated assault/battery, based on his alleged use of a baseball bat in a street fight.

	I've Been Offered a Plea Bargain
		Plea Bargaining Strategies is a major chapter in Busted by The Feds because it is such a minefield full of traps for the unwary defendant.
		And sadly, in the area of plea bargains there are unscrupulous lawyers who actually work against their client's interests in order to make some easy money.
		Most bad plea bargains come about because the defendant lets himself be pressured into making a decision without enough information and because he fears getting a sentence that is actually much higher than the guidelines would allow.

	Houston's Clear Thinkers: Causey plea deal expected today
		The plea deal hedges Causey's risk of an effective life sentence if he were to stand trial and be found guilty on 36 criminal counts in the Task Force's legacy case against Causey and his co-defendants, former Enron chairman Ken Lay and former CEO Jeff Skilling.
		In fact, the plea could actually work to simplify the defense of the remaining two defendants by shifting the focus of the trial away from technical accounting issues over which neither Lay nor Skilling had primary responsibility.
		The most probable immediate impact of the plea deal is that the Lay and Skilling defense teams will request a delay of the beginning of the now-scheduled January 17, 2006 trial and renew their request that the trial be moved out of Houston.
