What happens if I don't take a plea bargain / plea deal?

Criminal defendants are usually given a plea bargain (i.e., a negotiated plea deal), but what happens if they don't take it? And how does a plea deal relate to the discovery?

Certified Criminal Trial Specialist J. Jeffrey Lee explains how the negotiation process works between the defense attorney and the prosecutor, and how that process differs from sentencing by a judge if a defendant loses at trial. On his web site, he provides a presumptive sentencing chart for Tennessee.
