Legal Definitions - rolled-up plea

A rolled-up plea is a type of plea in which a defendant pleads guilty to multiple charges at once, rather than entering separate pleas for each charge. This type of plea is also known as a "global plea" or "package plea".

For example, if a defendant is facing charges for robbery, assault, and drug possession, they may choose to enter a rolled-up plea in which they plead guilty to all three charges at once, rather than entering separate pleas for each charge.

This type of plea can be beneficial for both the defendant and the prosecution, as it can save time and resources by avoiding multiple trials and negotiations. However, it is important for the defendant to fully understand the consequences of a rolled-up plea and to consult with their attorney before making a decision.
