negociación de admisión de culpabilidad

My comment:

Tambien se puede decir solo admisión de culpabilidad, negociación de cargos o sentencia acordada.
El acusado acepta la oferta del fiscal de dejar sin efecto algunos cargos a cambio de que la declaración de culpabilidad de uno o más de los cargos.

pacto sobre declaración de culpabilidad

My comment:

Algunos autores también lo llaman sentencia de conformidad, sentencia acordada, pacto entre el ministerio fiscal y la defensa en una causa penal.
El acusado acepta declarase culpable a cambio de la sustitución del delito imputado por otro menos grave. También se puede retirar alguno de los cargos, si hay varios, o se rebaja la pena impuesta por el juez.

propuesta (de la fiscalía) para resolver el caso

My comment:

This is a complicated term, but the translation I gave above is what I use in court on a daily basis. The defendant may accept or reject the plea bargain (propuesta). If he accepts it, then he pleads guilty, usually to a charge(s) that is less serious than the original charge. It is also know as an agreement (convenio) between the district attorney and the defendant. The agreement is to the sentence the defendant will receive. In other words, if the defendant pleads guilty, then he will get such and such a sentence.

There is a difference between the plea bargain (the propuesta o oferta) and the plea agreement (el convenio o sentencia negociada).
