What is the effect of defendant pleading guilty in a criminal case?

"New York", United States of America

The following excerpt is from People v. Tiger, 110 N.E.3d 509, 32 N.Y.3d 91, 85 N.Y.S.3d 397 (N.Y. 2018):

In light of defendant's guilty plea, the case never proceeded to trial. Presumably, the People ceased all efforts to investigate or prosecute defendant's case. The prosecution took no additional testimony, collected no other evidence, never consulted an expert, and pursued no further medical testing. Defendant's plea, the People assumed, "mark[ed] the end of [the] criminal case, not a gateway to further litigation" ( People v. Hansen , 95 N.Y.2d 227, 230, 715 N.Y.S.2d 369, 738 N.E.2d 773 [2000] ).
