Due to the increase in crime and the inability of the courts to process cases, a practice known as plea bargaining has developed in large metropolitan areas. It consists in the defense attorney’s making a deal with the prosecution—if the prosecution agrees to reduce the charge against the defendant, the defendant will plead guilty and waive his or her right to a jury trial. Plea bargaining appeals to criminals because it allows them to be tried for a lesser crime than they committed. It appeals to prosecutors because it spares them keeping track of witnesses for months and even years. It appeals to judges because it expedites their handling of cases. Evaluate the morality of plea bargaining from both rule utilitarian and Kantian perspectives (i.e. is it moral from a rule utilitarian perspective and a Kantian perspective?) and conclude your essay with your own position on the issue of plea bargaining with reasons.
