Re: check fraud
A terminally ill mother will not nullify a criminal act. It may help with sentencing. Contact an attorney. You may have other ways to beat the charge.

Certainly not "forgiven"(commuted), and probably not even reduced(but she could still try), and, yes, it would up to the original sentencing judge to decide to reduce it.
