By Riley S. Lovejoy. Attorney at Law - Charges may be dismissed outright, or dismissed or reduced as part of a plea agreement only for the following rationales: 1. Unanticipated evidentiary problems make the original charge(s) inappropriate; 2. Unanticipated professional considerations preclude a just prosecution of the original charge(s); 3. Errors in the original charging decision must be corrected; 4. Potential legal or logistical problems so substantially decrease the likelihood of obtaining a conviction that it is in the public's interest to reduce the charge so as to have at least some sanction imposed upon the defendant for the misconduct in question; or 5. The charges filed to significantly enhance the state's case at trial are being dismissed upon the defendant's plea to the offense(s) which accurately and adequately describe the misconduct in question.
