Stockton, CA asked in Criminal Law and Juvenile Law for California

Q: What can a Minor who is being charged for assault for fighting do to have the charge dropped/dismissed?

The minor being charged is already suspended and would never act in an uncivil behavior except this one time and actually got into a fight and threw the first punch. The minor has goals and would not want to charged with misdemeanor in her record because it could effect her future.
