ADMINISTRATION JUSTICE 2
Question #1
According to the video, John Oliver reports that defendants have a lot of work with
little pay, with each case averaging only seven minutes of research, thus making more than
90% of cases to end up in guilty pleases (Last Week Tonight, 2015). It is an implication that
the majority of defendant lawyers, because of lack of sufficient time and lack of adequate
pay, urge the majority of criminal defendants to plead guilty, which is not a fair trial as it was

said that every criminal defendant that does not have sufficient money should be assigned a
defense lawyer who should provide education and present a person to maximum capacity.

and literacy but choose the alternative way of telling the criminal defendant to plead guilty is
against the Supreme Court ruling on the role of defendant attorneys (Last Week Tonight,
2015).

punishment, or drop in all the charges. There are three main types of the plea bargain. The

opened against you. The second type of plea bargain is count bargaining where a person
pleads or accept committing one crime despite being charged with several crimes so as the
court will focus only on that one chosen crime and ignore the others. The third type of plea
bargain is a sentencing bargain where the defendant either takes a guilty or no contest plea
after agreement with the prosecutor on the kind of sentence they will receive. The last one is
