PLEA BARGAINING.
This is the process by which the prosecution and the
defendant (accused) reach an agreement whereby the defendant agrees to plead
guilty (agrees to have committed the crime) in return for some sort of
concession like reduction of sentence, withdrawal of some charges, reduction of
a charge from a more serious charge to a lesser charge and leniency in
sentencing.
Plea bargaining has helped to reduce on the problem of case
back log in Uganda, in that most defendants choose this option and in turn save
time, costs and resources which could have been wasted in the completion of the
case.
Plea bargaining must be voluntary, the accused should not be
forced to take the agreement.
