    Next but not the least, is the fifth stage known as the plea bargain stage. Many criminal cases are usually resolved and disposed of at this stage as we had talked about in the beginning of our conversation. You can either agree or deny a plea, but it is IMPORTANT to know most pleas can result to a decreased charge and jail time verses being found guilty in a trial. The plea is given by a prosecutor who is the government's lawyer also known as the State. Once the prosecutor gives us a plea bargain, we can either agree or disagree to the punishment and suggest a punishment to the judge (the prosecution does the same).
