The guy plea bargained and I got away with giving him the finger in cour the was a serial rapist. It'll be on his record for life.
Seagull,
The U.S. judicial system is complicated and each case is individual. When someone pleas guilty and there is no trial it saves a lot of tax money. Someone on death row costs the tax payers even more money than someone given a life sentence b/c of all the appeals that occur for a person on death row. They can sit on death row for twenty years or so before they are put to death. That's how long it can take to go through all their appeals which costs a lot of tax money.

a plea bargain you get less time; there were 3 women and I wanted to court and if he had gone to court he would have ended up with life.

Unfortunately, criminals don't always get what they deserve. But, sometimes it's better to go with plea bargain to spare the victims from having to relive their experience on the witness stand and be torn apart by the defense attorney. Sometimes, evidence in a case is circumstantial where the verdict could go either way.
