Nebraska Waiver and Plea of Guilty is a legal process in the state of Nebraska in which a defendant pleads guilty to a criminal charge in exchange for a negotiated agreement with the prosecutor. This agreement outlines the terms of the plea, such as the sentence and any fines or restitution that must be paid. The process begins when the defendant meets with his or her attorney to discuss the plea agreement. The attorney then drafts the plea agreement and submits it to the prosecutor for consideration. If the prosecutor agrees to the terms, a hearing is scheduled in which the defendant must sign a Waiver of Rights form and enter a plea of guilty. There are two types of Nebraska Waiver and Plea of Guilty: 1. Open Plea: An open plea is a plea of guilty without any agreement between the defendant and the prosecutor. The judge can then determine the sentence. 2. Plea Bargain: A plea bargain is an agreement between the defendant and the prosecutor in which the defendant pleads guilty to a lesser charge or to a reduced sentence in exchange for a promise by the prosecutor not to pursue other charges.
