Plea agreements are quite common, otherwise, our courts would be "clogged" even more than they already are. I just wonder if there is a direct correlation between the number of cases our courts deal with to the date that lawyers started advertising. I would bet there is!
I would rather see 100 criminals found not guilty than one innocent person serve time for a crime they did not commit.
