CDH Law Mitigation Efforts Result in Reduced Sentence Over District Attorney’s Objection

Our client was accused of reckless driving after a high-speed chase. In plea negotiations, the District Attorney insisted on 6 months in jail. We presented detailed mitigation to the Court, and the judge agreed to a sentence of a Conditional Discharge instead. This means that the Court was persuaded by the detailed circumstances we presented regarding our client’s life and upbringing, as well as his meaningful contribution to society, to the extent that jail time was taken off the table and our client walked free after entering his plea. This was over the objection of the District Attorney, who continued the request for incarceration through to the end of the proceedings.
