Plea Bargaining
Brendon Mills made this Official Information request to Ministry of Justice
Ministry of Justice did not have the information requested.
From: Brendon Mills
Dear Ministry of Justice,
I would like to know how often plea bargaining (ie an offender pleads guilty in return for a lesser charge/sentence) is used in the New Zealand justice system.
Just a general figure will suffice. I accept that you are not able to provide details of single cases.
Yours faithfully,
Brendon Mills
