Client was arrested for Scheme to Defraud and Grand Theft of Over $100,000 (a first degree felony) after stealing nearly $300,000 from her employer over time. Client scored a minimum of 42 months in prison. We got the State to agree to drop one of the counts because of a double jeopardy argument which reduced what client scored to 21 months. Then, we negotiated a 12 month sentence. The State tried to rescind that plea deal after a new State Attorney was appointed but we were able to keep it on the table and client accepted 1 year in jail as opposed to facing up to 30 years if convicted at trial.
