There are many possibilities.
The most common is that a trial often drags up painful emotions and memories, and a plea bargain can avoid a trial.
Also, where the evidence is not strong, a plea bargain often ensures that the defendant suffers at least some jail time, as opposed to possibly being acquitted.

The most common thing that I hear is that the trial can be very difficult for the victim's family. They have to talk many times in public about the crime and that brings out a lot of emotion tht they would rather not experience again.
