Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

I am from California and was attacked by my co driver in Wyoming. he stabbed me 7 times and he was charged with attempted murder. the district attorney said they're considering taking a plea bargain for aggravated assault and give him time served which is about 11 months.

question: if I feel the district attorney is wrong for doing this is there anything I can do?
