Which way do you want to have it? Kalief Browder endured the kafka-esque nightmare product of an overburdened criminal court system. Plea bargains keep 95+% of the overall case load out of that system. You can have less plea bargaining and more court overhead, or you can have more plea bargaining and fewer delays for trials.
There is a huge problem with the US criminal court system (I personally think it's almost entirely product of ludicrous oversentencing, the product of the 1970s-1980s "war on crime"). But I don't think it's helpful to point fingers at parts of the process that are unrelated to those problems.
