What is the big difference here? Pleading guilty doesn't all of a sudden get your sentence chopped in half, but taking a deal when offered may achieve the desired results.

The man was proclaiming his innocence, and as an alleged law student you should have information/knowledge about precedent cases and why the court probably wouldn't have accepted the guilty plea if he continued to maintain his innocence. I understand allocution and colloquy. I understand what happens when you admit guilt. But we are discussing the results of a conviction. So what is the big difference here?
