Plea Bargains

What is with the plea bargain bit?
I was reading in the paper recently
several cases where they do a plea
bargain and the person does a few
months or probation.


I know they need to get the person
to admit their guilt. But at what cost?

We have had one smash a police officers
car, and fought with the officer. He gets
probation.

Another one who was a sex
abuser, who put a cloth over a child's
face with drugs in it. They plea bargain that
one and dropped sex abuse. It doesn't take
a rocket scientist to figure out what was going
to be next, if he hadn't been interrupted.

There have been several of these type of cases.
It appears to be lazy prosecuting to me.
