Back in 1997...there was a charge of lewd and lacivious in the prescense of a minor. It wasn't true but I didn't have the money to fight the charges, the minor's very questionable past (he had made accusations like this about someone else) wouldn't be allowed to be heard by the judge. Plus, my lawyer told me judges often believe children first and if things didn't go my way, I would be looking at prision. In hindsight, I wish I would have done everything possible to prove my innocence, but I chose a plea bargain.
2 questions...
If a person has plea bargained and a waiver of appeal rights was filed, is there any way to revisit the case?
Also, the plea bargain was for a lessor charge 777.04 attempt, solicite conspire...but whenever a prospective employer does a searche or a driver's license check, the greater charge of 800.04 is what is displayed. I was told this is just how the court records the information, but that doesn't seem right to me. Is that true?
thanks for your response
