  You're wrong. I just Googled the phrase plea deals life without parole and found literally pages and pages and pages of articles about people plea bargaining down to life without parole. [1][2][3][4][5] And that's just from the first page. You do realize that you aren't executed right after the guilty plea, right? In capital cases many levels of appeals are mandatory and a death row inmate waits an average of 15 years before they're executed. In California, which has the largest death row population, no one has even been executed in a decade and there are no plans to so in many places it's a de facto life without parole sentence anyway.
