Can the court reduce the charge after probation??

[wrpol]

Wondering if the Arizona court can reduce the charge of aggravated dui (class 4 felony) to a misdemeanor after successful completion of probation.

I can have the charge "set-aside" but that will not satisfy the nursing board and allow me to return to work, they want any felon to wait 5-yrs after "absolute discharge" to accept your application.

This seems to "fly in the face" of the courts desire to release a person from "civil disabilities" and move forward.

The short answer to your question is "no."

Only the charging entity, the State of Arizona, can decide to reduce or eliminate the charges they filed against you. A judge can sometimes dismiss a filed charge as a sanction against State malfeasance or, but that is quite rare.

Even i said u the answer is no and for more consult your local lawyer because he knows the rules and regulations of your state very well.
