I respect the theory behind them. Sometimes people seem clearly guilty, but the evidence against them might not hold for a conviction. It may be better to apply consequences for a lesser offence than to allow that person to go free after a trial.
But, it is also open to abuse, and we have seen it used to force innocent people into pleading guilty in order to avoid the risk of a trial.
What say you?
