Re: Plea Bargin

You only have a limited amount of time and limited reasons to withdraw a plea, however, there may be something here since the sentencing was before a recent change in the Megan's law interstate procedures on January 1, 2008.

In order to properly evaluate the case, you should consult with an attorney who practices in the County where the sentencing took place.
