Answer: Plea Bargaining

Explanation:

Plea Bargaining is an act of agreement between a prosecutor and a defendant or an accused in which the defendant plead guilty. This is done in order for the defendant’s punishment or sentences to be reduced. Thus, it is often negotiated and attracts concession from the prosecutor. It sometimes also leads to dropping of certain charges against the defendant or accused. It is also known as plea deal or plea agreement.
