Been listening to a bunch of true crime podcasts lately. More often than not, the person accused of a horrific crime, is offered some sort of reduced sentence, in exchange for a guilty plea. I know part of the reason is to spare the victim(s) and their families the trauma of going through a trial. It just seems pointless when they have so much evidence to convict them and give them a harsher sentence, especially considering how many people rarely serve the full sentence. I get it but I also don’t.

Because trials are never a 100% sure thing. It’s better to get someone to serve some time than have them get off on a technicality. That bulletproof evidence can be tossed out by a judge for any one of a million reasons if that happens then your case falls apart.
