Charge: 653m Penal Code <----- This is what I did. Look it up, its confusing. (Its a short read) So I was at court today and my Public defender asked if I wanted to go to trial. I said no because I didn't think I cant win. So I asked the City Attorney for a good sentence deal and told me what he could do. I also stated that the charge in the penal code was very confusing and didn't state if a threat had to accompany an obscenity. The penal code was very unclear and I had to point it out to the court and tried to have it nullified. Anyways I couldn't get it nulled due to its confusion but I got them to drop it to the lowest misdemeanor possible in exchange due to the confusion on my charge. 415 penal code, Disturbing the Peace! So instead of going to trial and fighting the confusing charge (Loopholes in the law when charges don't make sense) and facing the chance at a full blown sentence I went with the City attorney's offer: 2 years informal probation. 10 days cal trans work. Stay 150 yards from victim and NO contact. What does GC think? Good deal? Or should I have went to trial?
Well the quality of the deal is all up to you my friend. If you feel you can deal with that judgement then you made out good, right? At least you're not going to jail! Hope you get a decent probation officer too. Good luck!
Well, I got the good kind of probation The one that doesn't require me to take any drug test or report to anybody. Just the kind that means "Stay the hell out of trouble and we won't bother you for those two years!" And yes your right, I do feel okay with the offer. Just wondering what everyone else thinks
what where the original charges? the legal system is full of bullshit, I'm getting charged with my second possession offense because the officer searched my bag without informing me while I was disoriented and going into shock after I got hit by a car. that's very fucked up
lol, actually an officer has the power to search anything of yours in the open within immediate reach. Anything closed and its no good. Was your bag closed? If it was you got a case. Also the original charge was the 653m. Threats/annoyingness over the phone. Yes, that is confusing. Made the annoy happen but not the threat.
Wow I never knew being annoying was a criminal offense pretty informative. I'm understanding you made a threat, care to share what you said or no comment?
Actually I was cussing a lady out for spying on my house all the time (ex's mom, long story) on her voicemail. But I never once made a threat! So they caught me with the annoying charge lol. I sound so un-thug with that charge.
I would've gone to court man, 2 years probation and 10 days work for cussing someone out is fucking ridiculous
Yeah, I would have gone to court as well. For swearing at some lady and 2 years probation? You have a clean record?
