Plea to Lesser Offense and Placement on Probation

CHARGES: Burglary, Grand Theft of a Firearm, Safecracking
JURISDICTION: Logan
FACTS:

A 19-year young man had his world turned upside down in the Spring of 2019 after he was charged with second degree burglary, third-degree Grand Theft of a Firearm, and two fourth degree felonies for Safecracking. This individual had never been charged with a felony in his life but was now suddenly sitting in jail with no idea why.

In an attempt to save his girlfriend, the individual made admissions to police he was involved in this incident. She did not spare him the same courtesy and framed him in return. She attempted to secure a deal for herself to stay out of prison by accusing the young man of everything. After months of negotiations, the State agreed to reduce his second-degree felony charges to a third-degree. Our attorneys tirelessly worked to come lower his charges still, but with the Defendant’s admissio, the risk of going to trial was too great. At the request of our attorneys, the State did agree not to recommend prison for our client. Although the judge did recommend a prison sentence for the girlfriend at her sentencing.

The third-degree felony that our client pleaded guilty to be a presumption for prison at sentencing. With just over a month to prepare for a sentencing hearing, our attorneys advocated for the Defendant and pointed to specific sentencing factors. We argued to the Court why the presumption for prison should be overcome. After hearing the lengthy and detailed arguments from our attorneys at the sentencing hearing, the Court agreed the presumption was overcome and sentenced the Defendant only to a term of community control.

With diligent work and preparation, our attorneys were able to save this young man’s life. He has since been able to secure full-time employment and regularly volunteers in his community. His family is eternally grateful they were able to bring him home after his sentencing hearing, and watch as he continues to thrive.
