No. It's not a deal thats "made" per-se, there are no conditions to be haggled over, its simply that Judges will automatically award the reduced penalty at the sentencing stage if the defendant pleads guilty.
Is part of the plea bargain deal not discussing your innocence? In other words, how do we know whether people taking plea bargains are innocent?
