I am not a lawyer or a law student, so I might be wrong. I feel when a person pleads guilty, he spares the court the time to examine and cross examine evidences and witnesses. Therefore, the judge can move on to passing sentence. He may or may not be granted bail, depending on the gravity of the crime/offence. The sentence passed on the person may be linient. But most people who feel they have a chance in the case will plead not guilty, which will elongate the court process.
