Are you saying that you plead not guilty, then use the cost of trial as a bargaining chip in a plea deal? I thought plea deals were negotiated before pre-trial hearings? (Please excuse my probable use of incorrect terms - I live outside the US and am using our local terms, hopefully they’re similar enough to be understandable).
