STATE v. MC a child

RESULT: Probation

Client charged with 2^nd Degree Felony Fleeing to Elude, 3^rd Degree Felony Burglary of Unoccupied Structure, and 1^st Degree Misdemeanor Obstruction of Justice. Client had a score sheet that would have likely earned him detention without negotiation. Jason Mayberry was able to negotiate a plea where the client pled to 3^rd Degree Felony Fleeing to Elude, and 1^st Degree Misdemeanor Obstruction of Justice. Pursuant to plea negotiations the State Attorney’s Office did not recommend detention. Jason Mayberry strategically transferred the case to the client’s home county where he could work with a Department of Juvenile Justice representative familiar with the client. After speaking with the DJJ representative, the client was recommended to perform probation only.
