Your son can ask his attorney to try to get a lesser charge. However, it is up to the prosecutor whether they want to offer a lesser charge.

Hello there,

Your son can request a lot of things, but that doesn't necessarily mean the district attorneys will reduce the charge to a lesser included offense.

Everything is going to depend on the facts of the case.
