Legal Question in Criminal Law in Pennsylvania

Re: what happens when the district attorney does make an offer

if there is no offer, and you plead guilty, it is called an open plea. that means that the judge has full discretion to sentence you to a sentence of his or her choice. in pa, there are sentencing guidelines that mostly all of the judge follow on an open plea. ask your lawyer what your guideline range looks like.

good luck

You should contact a private attorney as soon as possible. The DA might make an offer to a private attorney, or you may need to try the case to a judge. Thanks.
