Discussion Question: The Plea Bargain: When Kathleen Rice took office as district attorney for Nassau County, New York, she was dismayed to see that one-third of the people arrested for drunken driving in the county had previous convictions for the same offense. “The message was that you can do this as many times as you want and you’re always going to be given the option to plead out to the equivalent of a traffic infraction,” said Rice. As a result, she instituted a “no deals” policy of her own for drinking-and-driving charges. Not surprisingly, Nassau County’s defense attorneys have not reacted positively to Rice’s plan. “People need some degree of hope, and under [her] policies, they’re not getting it,” complained one. What is your opinion of “no deals” policies for specific crimes? If you agree with this strategy, to which crimes would you apply it and why?
