Do people at take a plea get more time off?

As a Paralegal, I cannot render legal advice, the question that is asked is a general question, so therefore I will attempt to answer it in a general way. My answer is not intended to give the writer of this question a legal answer, the writer must consult his/her attorney for legal advice. The question is interesting. My field is Tort/Personal Injury, however I do a great deal of research in criminal law. The purpose of a plea bargin is to through an attorney, agree to plead guilty to one charge in order to have another charge dismissed. During this plea bargin process, which is done through your attorney and the Distric Attorney, a lesser sentence could be sought on the charge you are willing to plead guilty to. If both parties agree a motion is drawn up, that is signed by all parties to this cause and is submitted to the judge for his approval. At which time the judge will advise you of your rights and are you aware of this plea bargin and do you agree. If he approves the motion, he will then sentence you according to the plea bargin. Again, I want to stress this is not legal advice and is not to be taken as such by the writer of the question.
