What is a plea bargain of "6 years in prison or open" mean?

Question

What is a plea bargain of "6 years in prison or open" mean?



Answer

That is not a plea bargan in Texas. In Texas, you enter a plea bargain for a specific term of years - say 6 years. Or, you may make an open plea to the judge for the judge to assess the sentence within the range of punishment (or sometimes with a specific cap in place.)
