I went to court today. I was told to come back Thursday for jury selection. I got a call a couple hours later from my lawyer to ask if I'd accept misdemeanor reckless conduct, time served. Case closed.

I told her let me think about it and what's the odds for a complete dismissal. She said at this point they're not offering that, but if I still want to take the risk to let her know by Thursday.

I know it's a good "deal".

Advice?... I need the dismissal so I can get all the stories and mugshots removed from the internet

Didnt read this whole thread but what I will say as someone whos been through the court systems but deservedly so for the most part. Take that deal. Not because its time served, but because its a misdemeanor conduct. Dont worry about having a record. That wont even show up as an issue at all in the job market or keep you from any opportunities. Its a misD and non violent. Couldve been you pissing drunk outside and got that charge. Not only that, but it is completely able to be expunged and sealed. Meaning this wont even be on your record at all bro. Dont play games with these people. If it was a felony, thats different but this aint shyt. Dont give them the opportunity. And dont look at it like conceding to have done something wrong. Look at like all I have to do to not deal with this shyt anymore is fill out a form and pay the filing fee to get this expunged. Small price to pay if you really didnt do anything. And a fukking blessing if you know you did something wrong and got caught up.

This coming from somebody that went to trial and was locked up for years. Think big picture. The youve been inconvenienced more by going back and forth to court with your livelihood on the line than you would be by signing a form in a 402 conference that day. And mailing a form off the next for expungement of a misdemeanor. Im telling you, they will book you on a bullshyt misdemeanor in trial regardless breh, REGARDLESS. This is for nothing other than making the city pay for the trial and jury you made them pick. Take it. File the expungement. Get out they face.

Any chance you can tell the details about your court cases? Don’t be too specific, just general

They dropped it from 10 hard years in booty pounding prison to time served on a misdemeanor

Take it to trial Breh, they don’t have shyt.

Think of it like this, they wouldn’t drop it to time served if they had you on camera, had dna evidence, 2 solid witnesses... Shid they would drop it to 8 years at best

If you're guilty any way this might not be a bad deal. If you're completely innocent, remember the judicial system is inherently racist. Be sure you're confident about the judge you're appearing in front of as well. Unofortunately it appears you have a terrible lawyer. Must be a public defender.

Good luck.

:patrice: if the misdemeanor can be wiped and don’t affect jobs it doesn’t sound bad..but like some are saying if they dropped it to this from 10 it’s like they know they have nothing.

I want to tell him to take it to trial,as it is obvious they were trying to railroad him originally. Just imagine if he was some dummy who was so afraid he took the 5 years,after they knocked it down from 10:martin:. Now here they are knocking it down to 1. Taking it to court is what all of us WANT to do,but its different when somebody elses life is on the line.

I can't really tell you what to do,hard to even give any kind of advice. I wouldn't wan it on my record at all,and wouldn't want to have to go to trouble to get it expunged when I didn't do shyt except be inconvenienced and have my life put on hold. Family would be what would probably stop me from taking it to court.
Plus I've always been big on prayer when shyt goes bad,and I've been in situations where I asked and recieved exactly what I was hoping for.
But then I pushed it,and took the L:francis:

You may be getting exactly what you asked for here,and maybe you shouldn't push it. You have to go with your gut here,admitting guilt to something you didnt do can leave a bad taste in your mouth. I don't like seeing these crackas win,but would hate to see them throw you in jail. If your gut is strongly telling you to fight it,you should fight it.
