How binding on probation are plea bargain agreements negotiated by my attorney with the Court and the District Attorneys Office?
A. Plea negotiations are considered, but not binding. The Probation Department submits a recommendation to the Court for sentencing based upon various factors, including the law, severity of the offense, prior criminal history, acknowledgement of wrongdoing, remorse, attitude and cooperation, social history, public safety, etc.
