Keota, OK asked in Criminal Law for California

Q: If a deal is not accepted are they likely to offer a new one if evidence shows the person didn’t commit all the crimes

The public defenders pi found some things that should help his case. The pi said he believes my boyfriend was way overcharged. But we can’t afford bail so he has been in jail 3 months. He is now considering taking a deal for something he did not do just to get out even though it is life changing deal especially for a dad.
