The Different Faces Of Plea Agreements

There is a problem in our legal system regarding plea bargaining. As a result of a plea agreement, some dangerous criminals are allowed to go free with just a slap on the wrist.

It does however depend on the jurisdiction: Some states are more tougher on those who commit crimes. It just amazes me on how it depends on what state a criminal commits his crime determines the severity of the sentence.

I feel that there needs to be some sort of across the board sentencing guidelines before our legal system accepts plea bargains.
