Re: my sons rights
"offers" are up to the DA though the Court has some say in this....3 strikes cases are more complex to deal and there is no rule/right to get back a previous offer just because I changed my mind....generally one expects the cost of a 3 strikes case to be higher than a "normal" case given all the additional work required and the record of the offender is usually known early on in the proceedings...many times there is a record of what the offers were and what the maximum sentence could be...i.e. could be a three strikes case....first check to see when it was discovered by "anyone" that the case was a three strikes case...
