Once a person enters a plea of not guilty. Does the defendant have to wait until trial, or can the goverment still offer a plea weiver? I heard that most federal cases do not go to trial.In a Federal cases plea of not guilty and plea bargain.?
Between entry of a not guilty plea and trial it's quite common for the government and defense counsel to attempt to negotiate a plea. The vast majority of cases are resolved by such bargains.
