Thank you Ghost...now maybe I understand why so many are confused...plea agreements are the norm here.

And it is not behind closed doors.....both sides are present....the agreement is written.

The judge must approve...which happens 99% of the time.

Is this really true?????

No plea agreements in the UK????

I find this hard to believe.

I will research

Thank-you again Ghost.

PS...Aren't jury's behind closed doors, or are there no jury's in England?
