CFE – Law — Question 48

In jurisdictions that allow criminal bargaining agreements, the prosecution generally has the discretion to decide whether a bargaining agreement is available to the defendant.

Answer options

• A. True
• B. False

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because, while the prosecution has significant influence, the overall availability of plea agreements is often subject to judicial oversight and statutory limitations. Therefore, it is not solely at the prosecution's discretion to decide on the availability of a bargaining agreement.
