In the Common Law system, I think plea-bargaining is more likely going to make it easier for me to receive this verdict. I think plea-bargaining would make it easier because of classism and peoples overall socioeconomic differences. For example, America is built and invested in the idea that it is a capitalist society. However, not all members of its society are financially stable enough to afford the best lawyers to represent them. As a result, people who are accused of crimes from the lower and middle financial class are more likely to accept a plea bargain than those who are affluent. Some reasons for this is because the lawyers they obtain, from the state or through other means, often do not care enough about their clients and are self-interested.
