The guilty plea process mixes consensus and concessions with going rates structuring but not determining negotiations when they occur. The imprecision of McDonald's (p. 259) remark that “the exact proportion of . . . pleas that were negotiated is not easy to discern, but it is undoubtedly very high” cannot be ignored when he discusses his “battle model.” See Nardulli et al. (1984; 1985) for a quantitative assessment of individual influences on the guilty plea process and an effort to operationalize the going rate concept.
