Their are tons of factors pushing a defendant to a plea...bail/bond are not one of them, perhaps you could explain.
There are cases where the defendant is in jail pending trial gets a bail set and can’t afford it, then gets a plea that would result in his release so he takes it...but that in no way is the primary purpose of the bail to force the plea. I don’t think you would ever find such a case where the defendant hasn’t waived their right to a speedy trial. But feel free to link such a case.
