Plea deals

I didn't get around to posting last week's plea deal numbers. They are lower than the previous week, because there was a jury trial and we only had docket (where we make deals and plead cases) on Monday and Friday.

But here's what we had:

Probation: 6 cases
Jail: 6 cases

So, that means we have disposed of 37 felony cases so far this month. I'll keep updating and we'll see how things go.


[Disclaimers:
1. "Probation" includes regular probation and deferred adjudication. "Jail" includes anything from one day back-time, to life in the penitentiary. It's usually somewhere in between. :)
2. Note that these stats do no take into account probation revocation cases, i.e. where someone already on probation is accused of committing a further offense, and their probation is either continued or ends with a jail sentence. They also don't take into account cases from our court resolved on the "rocket docket" in the magistrate's court.]
