Plea bargains in the American court.

[thir]

The UK stopped giving lenient sentences for guilty pleas because of the victims saying, they do the crime so they should do the time. We have over here stopped the automatic right to early release, it has to be earned and even then it is not guaranteed.

Hmm.. I seem to remember a discussion here in UK about giving more lenient sentences in rape cases in case of guilty pleas, because, if I understood it correctly, they are so hard to prove, and to save the victims having to appear in court.

But I cannot remember what it ended up with.

Yes you are correct, but if i remember correct it was because of the public outcry it was all left in limbo.
