The court is already overburdened as we speak.

My opinion on the matter is that plea bargain is a hack to work around a slow legal system. If it weren't for the slowness of the legal system, we would not need plea bargain.

Also, since there's no verdict by a judge, I find it not rather undemocratic.

Lower courts and court cost are also ways to put less stress on the legal system, but they can be balanced.
