yes i offered more probation, supervised over bench, and max community service or work crew offerings, how likely would they take this over jail time in oregon?
In Oregon, the likelihood of the court accepting your offer of more probation and community service instead of jail time can vary based on several factors:
- The severity of the charges.
- The prosecutor's stance.
- Your criminal history (or lack thereof).
- The judge's discretion.
It's best to have your attorney negotiate these terms, as they can argue for alternatives based on your specific circumstances. Have you already discussed this with your attorney?
what do you think though?
It sounds like you've already made substantial efforts to negotiate alternatives to jail time. In Oregon, as a first-time offender, there's a fair chance that the court may consider your proposal, especially if you have no prior arrests and are showing willingness to comply with alternative sentencing.
However, the outcome will largely depend on the judge and prosecutor assigned to your case. Having a skilled attorney advocate for you can significantly impact the negotiations. Do you currently have legal representation? If not, would you like to be connected to a local attorney who can help you further?
