Descrição: Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure grants judges unchecked discretion to deny a plea bargain, with no guidelines about which standards should be applied when making the decision to deny. Judges, however, rarely use this power. Recently, in US v. Walker, a federal judge denied a plea deal in a drug case on the grounds that the bargain was against the public interest. He found that the public has an interest in participating in the criminal justice system through open jury trials and that "the jury trial reveals the dark details of drug distribution and abuse to the community in a way that a plea bargained guilty plea cannot." While the judge identified compelling concerns about the legal system's reliance on plea bargains in the context of the opioid crisis, his solution -- denying an individual plea bargain -- neither meaningfully addresses the crisis nor adequately accounts for the impact on the defendant.
