state appellate court

Explanation:

First Question (True/False about plea bargaining)

Plea bargaining benefits defendants (e.g., reduced sentence, certainty) and the government (e.g., saves trial resources, secures convictions). So the statement is true.

• State appellate court: Reviews lower - court decisions, not for initial murder trials.
• State supreme court: Highest state court, hears appeals, not initial trials.
• Trial court of limited jurisdiction: Handles minor cases (e.g., traffic, small claims), not serious crimes like murder.
• Trial court of general jurisdiction: Handles serious criminal (like murder) and civil cases with broad jurisdiction.

Answer:

True
