The whole fucking idea is to determine someone being guilty or not, and giving sentence if he is guilty. This deal thing skips the whole process that makes the legal system as legal system. Like that it is some inquisition, which only function is to get confessions.

Well, I agree it's fucked up, however, that is the legal system in America. It is also to cut down on the time it takes to generate a conviction. If everyone who was arrested had to have a jury trial it would backlog the system by years.
