You may be able to convince the judge to put you on "Holmes Youthful Trainee Act" probation. HYTA allows the court to dismiss charges after successfully completing this probation, even if the prosecutor objects. It is limited to people committing crimes when they are 17-20 yrs old. It is a discretionary call by the judge, so no guarantees.
