Trial Penalty is a legal phenomenon in the context of plea bargaining and plea negotiations wherein the imposition of a substantially harsher sentence following a trial verdict, compared to a sentence offered through a guilty plea, functions as a punitive differential that disadvantages defendants who exercise their constitutional right to trial.
