Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

Deferred prosecution withdrawal

3 years ago there was an incident for at my house and I was charged with Domestic Battery even though no assault or battery occurred. I was going through alot, so when the courts offered me Deferred prosecution for the charge I accepted it without fulling reading what I was signing. Now that deferred prosecution is keeping me out of the Navy. Can I withdraw my Deferred prosecution and take the charge to trial?

Re: Deferred prosecution withdrawal

While you can elect to drop out of the program, I rec. you thuroughly discuss the ramification of entering a plea or being found guilty at trial with your recuter to see if you will be disqualified from entry into the Navy. Further, depending on the uncertain outcome of your proposition, you may be foreclosed from seeking a expungement at a later time.
