Should the law of getting a reduced sentence for pleading guilty in court be scrapped?

Also, should the law on getting out of prison early for good behaviour be scrapped?

In the u.s. there is no law that allows a judge to punish a defendant for exercising his right to trial. A guilty plea often (but not always) results in a lesser sentence than the same charge might yield at trial for several reasons, including taking responsibility for the actions, a favorable recommendation from the prosecutor and the absence of the nasty details that would come out in a trial. All of those are legitimate, but there is no law that requires a lesser sentence for those who plead or a greater sentence for those who stand trial.

1STQ-Yes and No, yes because in my family trust and that kind of stuff is a big thing so if a guilty man pleads guilty it should be taken into consideration that he was honest faced the truth and took the blame he deserved. I think he should have either better privileges in prison or a shorter sentence (depending on the charges). No because if someone pleads guilty when he/shes not, it isn't right(but who would know), and if its a bad charge say murder I would say no.

2NDQ-it depends on the charge, if its murder I would say no(but the problem is we don't know what kind of experiance they had there)and if its smaller and not a bad charge(no charge is GOOD but you get what I mean) I would say yes.

Both are a win-win for the government and the defendant. The government gets reduced costs and less risk (of a not guilty), the defendant gets less of a sentence then the worst-case scenario.

So, I guess my answer is no.

Unless you're willing to quadruple the amount of money in taxes you pay toward judges, district attorneys, and public defenders, no.

And unless you're willing to double or triple the amount of money in taxes you spend on prisons, no.
