Sometimes the consideration for a plea agreement is merely to have the prosecutor stand mute for purposes of sentencing. Most plea agreements in my practice involved a reduction of charges or dismissal of charges if multiple crimes are charged. I probably had more types of this agreement than agreements for specific sentences.
