Dallas County District Attorney John Creuzot explains what plea bargains are, why they’re used, and how they shape the criminal justice process. With over 60,000 cases a year, Dallas County can’t take every case to trial — and plea agreements ensure justice is served efficiently while protecting victims and considering community needs.
In this video, DA Creuzot covers:
✅ What a plea bargain means in criminal law
✅ Why some cases are resolved without a trial
✅ How plea deals benefit victims, defendants, and the community
✅ The careful review process prosecutors follow before offering a plea
✅ Why defendants still have the right to a trial
If you’ve ever wondered how the justice system works behind the scenes, this insider perspective from your elected DA provides valuable insight.
