Section 105A of the Criminal Procedure Act empowers a prosecutor to enter into a plea and sentence agreement with an accused irrespective of the type of the offence in question.
When the Government has a strong case, the Government may offer the defendant a plea deal to avoid trial and perhaps reduce his exposure to a more lengthy sentence.
Allowing for a reduction for each guilty plea, consecutive sentences might result in the imposition of the maximum six month sentence. Where this is the case, the court may make a modest additional reduction to the overall sentence to reflect the benefits derived from the guilty pleas.
Under a specific sentence agreement, the court will impose a specific sentence within the guidelines range or a specific sentence that departs from the guidelines range for justifiable reasons. A fact-stipulation agreement is not a separate plea-bargaining tactic under the rules or guidelines.
In the event that some form of the deal is accepted, the judge will hear the plea in open court and sentence the defendant. This may happen at a special hearing if the defendant is in custody, but otherwise the plea probably will go on the record at the next scheduled hearing.
A Nolo Contendere plea is rare in federal criminal cases. In a Nolo Contendere plea, the defendant does not admit his factual guilt, but accepts the punishment on the premise that the government's evidence is strong enough for a conviction.
What is a Section 10 order? “Section 10” refers to section 10 of the Crimes (Sentencing Procedure) Act 1999. A Section 10 allows a Court to find you guilty of an offence but discharge the matter without recording a conviction. This means that you will not receive a criminal record for that offence.
Bargaining for waiver of the right to jury trial but not for waiver of the right to trial before a court would be a less restrictive form of bargaining that could be substituted for plea bargaining.
Section 105A of the Criminal Procedure Act empowers a prosecutor to enter into a plea and sentence agreement with an accused irrespective of the type of the offence in question.
You Cannot Choose No Contest New York law does not give you the option to choose no contest. You can simply choose if you are pleading guilty or not guilty. The way that you plead is going to have a big impact on your case.
