To allow the routine "negotiation of guilt" between prosecutors and the prosecuted to circumvent due process certainly is a violation of the Constitution -- something all three branches share culpability for allowing.

Plea deals are usually a reduction in the severity of the same charges.
Causing the death of another person typically comes in the "accidental but negligent", intentional but not premeditated, intentional and premeditated.
Or in final fantasy terms - Manslaughter - Homicide - Homicidaja - Homicidaga
A plea moves you from Homicidaga to Homicidaja.
