What is the purpose of plea bargains?
From the prosecution's point of view, plea bargains are sometimes offered to obtain testimony from the accused that could lead to a conviction in another, presumably higher-profile, case. For example, a hit man could plea bargain and have his own sentence reduced from murder to manslaughter if he agrees to testify against the crime boss who hired him.

How can you get your sentence lowered to a misdemeanor?
You (or your attorney-which I would highly recommend) offer to enter into a plea bargain with the prosecutor. It usually works that if you offer the prosecutor a guilty plea to a lesser offense, and without going to trial, -or- offer the prosecutor and law enforcemnent information that they may be interested in knowing - you MAY get the offer of a plea to a lesser offense. WARNING: Plea Bargains are not set in stone, it is a deal between only you and the prosecutor. I have seen plea bargains fall apart when the judge, seeing the seriousness of your originally charged offense, sees the lesser plea, and refuses to honor it.
If you take a plea bargain in court can you return to court to try an get it changed?
In general, it is unlikely that you can return to court to try to get a plea bargain changed once it has been accepted. Plea bargains are typically final and binding agreements between the prosecution and the defendant. However, there may be exceptional circumstances or legal avenues available to challenge or appeal a plea bargain, such as if there was misconduct or ineffective counsel during the negotiation process. It is advisable to consult with a lawyer to discuss your specific situation.
