Q: Court did not complete plea agreement. Plead guilty to misdemeanor instead of felony. Court processsed as felony.
More than one legal issue regarding the trial of case. However most important issue is the plea agreememt was to plea guilty to two misdemeanors instead of 2 felony charges. Just got a letter about not voting rights, so looked up charge online. Court said plead guilty to a felony. I have plea agreement in hand. Only took plea to keep rights eventhough i am innocent. Now have felony and no rights.
A: Sounds like it could be a paperwork error. You need to have a lawyer file a post-trial motion on your behalf to make sure the court's records are correct.
