What primarily lies behind plea bargain is the push by both prosecutors and judges to dispose of cases. With the relentless upsurge of crime in the last two decades, city courts and prosecutors’ offices have been burdened with au ever-mounting case load. The simple fact is that cases somehow have to be cleared. And be cause the judicial system would grind to a halt ff the bulk of defendants were to insist on their constitutional right to a trial, the quickest and easiest way to clear those cases is by obtaining a guilty plea. But, in their rush to dispose of cases, prosecutors can end up "giving away the courthouse".
The same pressure influences judges, who are often more lenient with defendants who plead guilty than with those convicted after trial. Legal purists find this discrimination intolerable, for no one should be penalized for exercising his constitutional right to a trial. Yet the practice occurs in many courts, and the consequence is that au innocent defendant can be victimized. The report of the National Advisory Commission ob served, "An innocent defendant might be persuaded that the harsher sentence he must face if he is tumble to prove his innocence at trial. It means that it is to his best interests to plead guilty, despite his innocence."
Another problem with plea bargain is that in the rush of a big-city criminal-justice system, a defendant is likely to see a lawyer from the public defender’s or legal aid office for only a few mutes before appearing in court. With such brief contact, the lawyer may have little notion of whether the client is guilty or not, and is quite likely to present the plea bargain as the most desirable alternative. A survey in 1972 of 3,400 criminal justice practitioners in four states showed that 38 percent thought it probable that defense lawyers pressure clients into entering pleas which the clients regard as unsatisfactory.
Plea bargaining also encourages widespread cynicism toward the entire criminal-justice system, among defendants, the public and crime victims. Moreover, the plea-bargaining system encourages prosecutors to "overcharge"--leveling more serious charges than the crimes warrant--in order to enhance their bargaining power.

听力原文： The Democrats aren't likely to trove enough votes to continue delaying confirmation of John R. Bolton as U.N. ambassador, the top Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee said Sunday.
Sen. Joseph Biden of Delaware told APe's This Week that President Bush will "probably be able to win the vote, somewhere between 45 and 47 votes against, and he'll think it's a victory."
The Senate put off a final vote on Bolton late last month. Democrats claimed the White House was stonewalling them on the release of classified documents that might prove damaging to the nominee.
"The president can probably refuse to give us this information, which we're completely entitled to as the United States Senate, and that's the reason why we're not letting the vote go forward," Biden said.
Bolton, 56, is currently the State Department's anus control chief.
The material Democrats have sought for weeks involves Bolton's use of government intelligence on Syria, and instances in which he asked for names of fellow U.S. officials whose communications were secretly picked up by a U.S. spy agency.
Opponents of Bolton have cited his dismissive remarks about the United Nations, his reputation as an un compromising and hotheaded conservative, and allegations that he shut out or retaliated against any voices of caution or dissent.
Despite Iris prediction that Bolton will be continued, Biden said, "It reduces the confidence in the administration, and.., the president will have lost more credibility, and lost support."
At present, John R. Bolton is ______.

When you are small, all ambitions fall into one grand category: when I'm grown up. When I'm grown up, you say, I'll go up in space. I'm going to be an author. I'll kill them all and then they'll be sorry. I'll be married in a cathedral with sixteen bridesmaids in pink lace. I' ll have a puppy of my own and no one will be able to take him away.
None of it ever happens, of course--or dam little, but the fantasies give you the idea that there is some thing to grow up for. Indeed one of the saddest things about gilded adolescence is the feeling that from eighteen on, it's all downhill; I read with horror of an American hippie wedding where someone said to the groom (aged twenty) "you seem so kind a grown-up somehow", and the lad had to go round seeking assurance that he wasn't. No, really he wash’t. A determination to be better adults than the present incumbents is fine, but to refuse to grow up at all is just plain unrealism.
Right, so then you get some of what you want, or something like it, or something that will do all right; and for years you are too busy to do more than live in the present and put one foot in front of the other, your goals stretching little beyond the day when the boss has a stroke or the moment when the children can bring you tea in bed--and the later moment when they actually bring you hot tea, not mostly slopped in the saucer. However, I have now discovered an even sweeter category of ambition. When my children are grown up...
When my children are grown up, I'll learn to fly an airplane. I will career round the sky, knowing that if I do "go pop", there will be no little ones to suffer shock and maladjustment; that even ff the worst does come to the worst, I will at least dodge the geriatric ward and all that look for your glasses in order to see where you've left your teeth. When my children are grown up, I'll have fragile lovely things on low tables; I'll have a white carpet; I'U go to the pictures in the afternoons. When the children are grown up, I'll actually be able to do a day's work in a day, and go away for a weekend without planning as if for a trip to the Moon. When I'm grown up--I mean when they're grown up--I'll be free.
Of course, I know it's got to get worse before it gets better. Twelve-year-old, I'm told, don’t go to bed at seven, so you don’t even get your evenings. Once they're past ten you have to start worrying about their friends instead of simply shooing the intruders off the doorstep, and to settle down to a steady ten years of criticism of everything you've ever thought or done or worn. Boys, it seems, may be less of a trial than girls, since they can’t get pregnant and they don’t borrow your clothes--if they do borrow your clothes, of course, you' ye got even more to worry about.
The young don’t respect their parents any more, that’s what. Goodness, how sad. Still, like eating snails, it might be all right once you've got over the idea; it might let us off having to bother quite so much with them when the lime comes. But one is simply not going to be able to drone away one's days, toothless by the fire, brooding on the past.
What interests the author about young children is that they______.
