Extremely high rates of plea bargains are more than incentivized, it is completely necessary to the function of the punishment apparatus at this point. If even slightly more went to trial it would completely break the system.
I teach forensic psychology. Failure to understand the value of a plea bargain when innocent can factor into the decision of whether someone is competent to stand trial (do they show decision-making capacity in a legal context?).
I plead guilty&was charged as an adult at 17. The police knew I had nothing to with it too, I just happened to be the oldest person at the scene & the drugs they found on all the sixteen year olds I was traveling with were just enough to enough to put one 17yo in adult prison...
...and my state doesn't expunge, period. Judges respond to rights restoration requests with "DA hasn't entered an opinion in a timely manner this petition/pro se letter will be denied without review" et al. F'n bananas. Never even requested firearms rights, I just want to vote.
