7. without plea bargains many cases will not be tried

Actually, this might be good for a lot of people...their cases will be dropped for lack of ability to provide a speedy trial. Plea bargains are not all good, sometimes people are coerced into accepting plea bargains and giving up their right to trial and thus their chance to be exonerated by a jury.
