To try and get a lesser sentence for confessing to what you have been charged for. If you plead not guilty, but then are found guilty you will have a much worse punishment than if you were to plea guilty. This doesnt mean plea not guilty though. If you can get out of it 100% go for it! good luck

∙ 14y agoThe prosecutor's motivation for a plea is just to get the person in prison. If the defendent pleas guilty for a plea bargain the prosecutor has won the case and accomplished his goal in succeeding for the person/people he is representing. The prosecutor can also not agree to the plea bargain and try for a max sentence but the catch is if the prosecutor does not agree to the bargain the defendent can then plea not guilty and possibly win the case. Hope this helps!
Added: It is NOT necessarily done to get the defendant to serve prison time, but to get the person to plead guilty to SOMETHING, without the necessity of having to go through a full-blown court trial, which saves the prosecutor time and the court (guess what?) MONEY. ALSO - oftentime it is offered to certain defendants to induce them to cooperate with law enforcement by giving information, names, etc.
