  1. Plea deals should come with an instructional pamphlet delineating collateral consequences, just so the acceptance is informed one. It should be required and time allowed to peruse it and absorb their meaning. To say nothing of the defence attorney being knowledgeable of them to inform the defendant. Should be like Miranda. If not provided consequences to the prosecution and the conviction should also obtain. These deals seem to rely on fear, and time pressure, inducing rushed, hasty decisions.
