It is not the charges that determine the sentence, it is the conviction. Admittedly, the charges are much less likely to be significantly reduced in a plea bargain the second time, but there will be some flexibility.

It is best to discuss this with your lawyer directly because the 'sentencing recommendation' of the DA and the 'probation report' will be very influential in determining the actual sentence.
