Legal Question in Criminal Law in Michigan

If the prosecutor's offer included a term that you would be placed on 7411 status probation and you pled in reliance on that (and this was articulated at the time of the plea with the judge), you could withdraw your guilty plea if the judge decided to not grant you MCL 333.7411 probation. The same would be true if the judge told you before you pled that he/she would grant you 7411 status and you pled relying on that, but then at sentencing the judge did not do this (maybe because the judge learned additional info about you in a pre-sentence report), you would have a right to withdraw your plea. On the other hand, if there was no specific part of the deal that "the Defendant will get 7411", then it's less clear that you will be able to withdraw your plea if you don't get that probation status. For instance, if the prosecutor said "it looks like you qualify and you can apply for 7411 status", then you likely would not be able to withdraw your plea.

I agree with Mr. O'Brien but I warn that you ought to hire an experienced criminal defense lawyer to determine whether the case can be won. It's silly to simply accept a plea deal not knowing if the charge can be beaten. 7411 status still maintains a non-public record of your conviction for judges, courts and some employers to see.
