Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Justice Potter Stewart argued that plea bargaining benefits all concerned in a criminal case, not just one party.

Similarly, it can benefit the prosecution by securing a conviction and avoiding the risk of an acquittal at trial. Therefore, plea bargaining is beneficial for all parties involved in a criminal case.
