As I explained in the other comment - plea bargains are a different issue - and do not impact my argument in the least.

The OP claims that juries can be bullied by a prosecutor into delivering a guilty plea. But if this were so, defendants would choose a bench trial as it would a safer bet. They do not, because juries are not bullied by prosecutors.
