Probably yes, but that does not guarantee that you will be sentenced under C.Cr.P. 894. All sentencing is the exclusive right of the judge. The judge is free to sentence you as generously or harshly as the law permits.

Ditto Mr. Casanave........but unless you have a bad record otherwise, you should be OK.....
