Prosecutor Has Offered a Deal: Is It Good Enough?

A caller’s son was charged with a felony and the prosecutor has agreed to drop the charge to a misdemeanor if her son will plead guilty. Could they try for a better deal? Brian explains that the prosecutor’s discretion is so broad that you cannot necessarily force them to do anything. This offer sounds good, and they will have to weigh this offer as it stands. Take it, or leave it and go to trial (risking the felony conviction).

Driving Under the Influence of a Prescription?

Brian explains that if you are under the influence of a prescription drug while driving, you can still be held accountable — just as you would be if it were alcohol — even if you have a prescription. The prescription means you can legally consume the drug — it doesn’t mean you can take it and then drive (that’s what those little warning labels on the bottle are for!)

Matt and Justin explain that one crime for which you can always be charged — no matter how much time has elapsed — is murder. There have been numerous trials for murder where the killing happened decades ago.
