The main argument to why plea bargains arent due process is that they usually are prosecutors charging people with inappropriately serious crimes and offering to settle on reasonable charges if the person pleads guilty, coercing them because they either get improperly charged (violation of due process) or waive their right to trial (violation of due process if coerced). It's a prosecutor willingly not performing their duties (charging people with appropriate crimes for their actions), because it makes their tracked stats look better (conviction rate). Im of the camp that believes plea bargains should only be allowed to negotiate sentences on the charge, not involve prosecutors charging a different set of crimes.
