Ville Platte, LA asked in Criminal Law for Louisiana

Q: Can a plea bargain sentence be reduced after it was already accepted??

My fiance was sentenced to 8 yrs in prison for simple battery which was apart of a plea deal. He first was convicted of armed robbery of a store which he did not entered since it was already closed. He did take an item which was value at $60 from an employee in the parking lot. The item belonged to the employee not the store. Is there any way we can at least get his sentence reduce.

A: Probably not. Speak with his attorney about this.
