Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

You don't get out of jail on a "Cruz" waiver. Provide mroe details and we can answer your question. Do your best to avoid using legal terms, and instead, give the facts. Ready to help..

When you take a plea deal and part of the deal is you get out of custody on a cruz waiver, you have told the court that if you don't come back on the date for sentencing, all bets are off and the judge could give you up to the max on the charge. Withdrawing a plea is not impossible, but it is very difficult. You need strong grounds for such a motion, or you need a lenient judge. I wish you well.....David Wallin
