The Good News
While a conviction is always a real possibility, other, more favorable outcomes exist, such as:
- Not guilty: A judge or jury could find you not guilty after a trial.
- Dismissal: Your case may be dismissed after a hearing based upon some deficiency in the prosecution’s case.
- Plea: You may plea bargain for a reduced charge or lighter sentence.
