Sometimes in a robbery case, the evidence against our client
is just irrefutable.
Maybe they have them on camera, maybe he confesses,
maybe there's not much of a defense
that we can wage on the facts and the merits of the case.
But even in those situations, a lot of times
we can work out a deal with the prosecutor and the judge
to reduce the charge to something
substantially less, like a grand theft
person or even a petty theft.
We had a case recently where a young lady
was facing a robbery charge that could have involved
a substantial time in the hall and having
to strike on her record because she was already 16.
But we were able to point out some issues
with the credibility of the witness and the fact
that the victim was not injured.
And ultimately convince a prosecutor
to reduce the charge to a petty theft.
And by doing this, we were able to prevent our client
from having a strike on her record.
To prevent you from having a felony on her record
that could have martyr for the rest of her life
and prevent her from going to juvenile hall.
