Effective resolution of the case depends on presenting critical information to the prosecution and judge about the strengths of the defense.
A request to the prosecutor either before the first court date or afterwards to dismiss or reduce the charges based on new evidence is effective. Diversion is a strategic process in which a client agrees to follow certain instructions from the judge that upon completion results in dismissal of the case. The plea bargain is a beneficial agreement between the defense, prosecution and judge to dismiss or lower the charges, reduce the fines and penalties, and avoid time in custody.
