WHAT IF A CASE IS NOT RESOLVED BY A PLEA BARGAIN?
Sometimes, the punishment offered to a defendant in a plea bargain is more than a defendant is willing to accept. In that case, my prosecutors ask the judge to set the case for a full jury or judge trial. Preparations for the full trial are begun by my prosecutor assigned to the case. The prosecutor and witnesses meet to review the details of the case and go over the questions which are likely to be asked at trial.
