Yes, a person can receive the death penalty even if they plead guilty, depending on the jurisdiction and the specific circumstances of the case. In some states, a guilty plea can expedite the legal process, but it does not eliminate the possibility of a death sentence if the crime meets the criteria for capital punishment. Ultimately, the decision rests on the severity of the crime and the laws governing sentencing in that jurisdiction.

Not exactly. A prosecutor might offer a plea bargain in exchange for not seeking the death penalty on conviction. This is not unusual. If the prosecutor can persuade the defendant to plead guilty, he or she saves the state the cost of a murder trial (the only offense likely to result in the death penalty), which can run into the millions. If the prosecutor says, "take this plea bargain or you will get the death penalty," he or she is assuming they can convict you, which is never a sure thing.

What does pleaded guilty mean?
If you have been arrested by the police because they think you have committed a crime, the next thing that happens is that you are brought to court for trial. When you come into court the charges against you are read out and you are given the opportunity to say that either you did not do the things you are accused of (a plea of not guilty) or that you agree that you did what you are accused of (a plea of guilty). If you plead guilty then there is no trial and the court will decide the punishment you deserve immediately. If you plead not guilt, a trial will be held and a jury will be appointed to hear both sides of the argument and decide if they think you are or are not guilty. If they decide you are guilty you will be punished.
If you plead guilty, do you still go to trial?
No, if you plead guilty, you typically do not go to trial. By pleading guilty, you are admitting to the charges against you, and the case can proceed to sentencing without the need for a trial.
