Is Plea Bargaining unjust?

Absolutly, plea bargining plays on the prisoner's dilemma. If both suspected felons say nothing, they both walk free, if one says something, one gets a heavy sentence while the other barely gets anything, if they both say the other one did it, they both go to prison. Notice that no where in that reasoning is truth metioned. The defendants are put under such pressure, that the truth is not considered, simply survival. So, a court that seeks justice should automatically dismiss plea bargining in search of the truth. In this same way, plea bargining is not completely voluntay and therefore, the defendant is not actually waving his 6th Amendment right.Answerplea bargaining is just and unjust it all depends on the situation. For examle if there is this mass murderer and rapist and he tried to plea bargain saying that he was forced to kill and rape than it is unjust but if someone siad that they was forced to take all of the money out of the bank account because they had a gun to them then it is just AnswerWhat is plea bargaining?

Contrary to popular belief, there is no such thing as a plea bargain "contract." The offer of a plea bargain is made between the prosecutor and the defense attorney. The judge is not involved in this 'bargaining process' and in some cases may not agree with it, and is not required to follow the result suggested by the prosecutor.
