Explain ad hoc plea bargaining
What will be an ideal response?
One commentator, Judge Joseph Colquitt, has used the term ad hoc plea bargaining to refer to some of these agreements. He has stated:
Ad hoc bargains exist in at least five forms: (1) the Court may impose an extraordinary condition of probation following a guilty plea, (2) the defendant may offer or be required to perform some act as a quid pro quo for a dismissal or more lenient sentence, (3) the Court may impose an unauthorized form of punishment as a substitute for a statutorily established method of punishment, (4) the State may offer some unauthorized benefit in return for a plea of guilty, or (5) the defendant may be permitted to plead guilty to an unauthorized offense, such as a ‘hypothetical' or nonexistent charge, a non-applicable lesser-included offense, or a nonrelated charge.
