- watwut 3y ago> How can a prosecution threaten a longer sentence when they don’t determine it? They do determine it in plea guilty process, actually. That being said, what they primary do is to manipulate charges - they add or remove charges to get the sentence they want. That process has nothing to do with what you actually done or not done. Charges are made big if you want trial. Charges are small if you accept plea guilty. For practical purposes, prosecutors are key decision makers.
