Federal crimes involve very complicated procedures. Penalties can be based on criminal history, the seriousness of the offense, and the extent of involvement in the crime. Punishment ranges in federal crimes are generally higher and unlike state criminal charges there is no option for a plea bargain or plea agreement in federal cases when it comes to punishment.

This will serve to persuade the prosecution in negotiations before charges are filed against you.
