Snatch out
Pleading guilty to a criminal charge as soon as possible after a reasonable plea deal has been offered, to avoid the risk of a more severe sentence; sometimes done for the sole purpose of causing one's self to be transferred from an unfavorable jail to a state prison.
Also serves as a means of denial, whereby the defendant can claim to have 'snatched out' not because of actual guilt, but because he wanted to 'get his time started'.
