A plea bargain is an agreement between the defendant and the prosecution in which the defendant agrees to plead guilty, in exchange for either a reduced sentence, a lesser charge, or some other agreement. Plea bargains are common in criminal cases and can be an effective way to resolve a case without going to trial, and avoiding risks associated with unknown sentencing outcomes.

The length of a criminal case varies depending on the specific circumstances of the case. Some cases may be resolved quickly, while others may take several months or even years to resolve. Factors that can affect the length of a case include the complexity of the charges, the strength of the evidence against you, and the number of cases on the court’s docket.
