My solution is much better.
Any plea deal should now represent 50% of the maximum fine. So if the prosecution offers a plea deal of 6months, then the best they can get out of a guilty verdict is 1 year.
Make there be a downside to offering a plea deal that is rejected.

I actually think a plea bargain should cap future sentences: if you take the 6 months deal any future case with same charges cannot carry a sentence higher than 6 months.
