Question

A defendant is charged with aggravated assault. The prosecutor will accept a plea to simple assault. This is an example of which kind of bargain?

Answer 1

Answer:

Charge

Explanation:

Charge Bargain:

Charge bargain is one of the most widely and commonly known type of plea.

This form of plea incorporates a negotiation of the certain particular criminal charges (or counts) that are to be at the defendant end at the trial.

Often, as the case may be, the greater charges will be dismissed by the prosecutor.

In case of the plea of 'guilty', the plea returns to a reduced charge.  

Thus in relation to the question for the defendant with the aggravated assault, the return of the plea is to the simple one as a result of the charge bargain.
