A plea bargain is a contract between the prosecution and you. Both parties are required to comply with the terms of the contract. In a plea bargain, you will be required to perform particular tasks (such as pleading guilty on a particular date, cooperating in the investigation of another offense, or testifying against a co-defendant). If you do not perform your part of the deal, the prosecution can revoke the plea bargain. If the prosecution does not perform its obligations under the deal, you may seek to have your plea set aside, or may seek a court order requiring the prosecution to respect the plea bargain. A plea bargain results in a conviction and a criminal record is established. The establishment of a criminal record carries with it far-reaching consequences. A conviction can carry a wealth of hidden consequences that can come into play under a variety of circumstances. A criminal conviction can have major repercussions. It can affect the individual on a more basic level when he attempts to seek employment. Federal law and most state agencies now requires background checks and allow disqualification based on conviction in a wide variety of employment areas including education, healthcare services, child and eldercare, financial institutions and transportation. A prior conviction will play an important role in the outcome of all future criminal charges.
