Plea Bargaining Also Hurts Police Recruitment Says Cop
Chester Sgt. Victor Roggia says plea bargaining in courts undermines police work and harms recruitment. Six Goshen charges against George D. Cooper were reduced to three, yielding fines for speeding and resisting arrest while felony counts were merged. Roggia cites cases of serious charges downgraded to misdemeanors and notes officers feel undermined when arrests are weakened without police input.
