Why would anyone plea guilty and make the prosecutors life easier?
Maybe you don’t. Talk to your attorney who can tell you if you are offered a good deal. One thing you have to realize upon signing a plea bargain agreement that it has the same effect as a jury finding you guilty in a trial. It goes on your record. The only difference is in the sentence. That means, if the jury finds you guilty, you may receive 2 years in prison for the same offense that would have resulted in 6 months probation, have you taken the plea. Whether to take the plea or to go for a trial is always a tough choice.
