Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Some prosecutors and judges have expressed concern over the rigidity of mandatory minimum sentences, and in some cases have found ways to work around them, such as by offering plea bargains to defendants that carry shorter sentences or by finding alternative charges that do not carry mandatory minimums. However, this is not true of all prosecutors and judges, and some may adhere strictly to the mandatory minimum sentence even if they feel it is unfair in a particular case.
