Hawaii Stipulation For Dismissal is a form of voluntary dismissal of a criminal case in Hawaii that allows the defendant to receive a dismissal of all charges without going to trial. This form of dismissal, also known as a plea bargain, is available for most criminal cases in Hawaii and allows the defendant to avoid a trial and potentially receive a lesser sentence. There are two types of Hawaii Stipulation For Dismissal: an agreed stipulation and a deferred stipulation. An agreed stipulation is an agreement between the prosecutor and the defendant to dismiss the case without going to trial. The defendant must agree to certain conditions, such as probation or community service, in order for the case to be dismissed. A deferred stipulation is similar to an agreed stipulation, except the defendant agrees to attend a court-ordered program or treatment in lieu of trial. The defendant must successfully complete the program or treatment in order for the case to be dismissed.
