...criminal mischief crime (felony)? A family member was charged with deferred adjudication (which she was scared by her court appointed lawyer to take other than going to trial) for vandalism of a wrecker truck. Which we know she didn't do. She was told in the beginning if she would pay the money for the damages the case would be dropped. This went on for a year due to the court dates being pushed back ( as i feel that the DA was trying to build a case) so after a year they finally setting a trial date and her Court Appointed Attorney told her that the DA would accept the deal without probation, or take it to trial and possibly be faced with 6m to a year of state jail (1st time offense) due to the DA having so much evidence ( which we found out wasnt much but supposely tire tracks and a call to 911) she was called a month and a half later that she should turn herself in because she have a warrent for her arrest.) Scared she didnt take it to trial and took the deal. She recieve 2 years of probation, 3500 in restitution and fines, plus 150 hrs of community services. I feel she was treated very unfairly due to I have seen way worst cases and lesser sentences. Anyway its has been a year and a half since she started her probation and lost her job do to the incident. I would like to know if I was to get a lawyer what can be done to have this removed or reversed due to i feel she shouldnt of had to receive deferred adjudification? Or is there anything that could be done? Please help me... I wanted to do something about it then but she kept saying just leave it alone. Never been in trouble in her life and recieve such harsh punishment for a crime she did not do.
