hello all,
i have 2 felonies. 1 dismissed and 1 still pending. Can the pending charge be reduced to a misd. and then deferred adjudication or must you defer the actual original charge and then it is dismissed at the end of prob completion?
thank you in advance

hi,
The prosecutor can reduce the charge and recommend deferred adjudication. he'd do that as part of a plea bargain. It's up to the judge to accept or reject any particular plea, or plea bargain. but depends on a lot of factors, the most important of which is how much evidence they have against the defendant.
