In a Federal Court Case, can a Felony Charge be reduced to a misdemeanor or even dropped at the sentencing?

No. All federal cases are felonies, there are no federal misdemeanors.





It either gets dropped all together, or you take the felony.In a Federal Court Case, can a Felony Charge be reduced to a misdemeanor or even dropped at the sentencing?
Anything can be reduced if you cop a plea, ie plea bargain.


Most first degree murder can be reduced to 2nd or manslaughter unless it can be proven it was planned from the beginning. Tax evasion can be chalked up to bad accounting, Also pleading guilty without trial usually reduces a sentence automatically unless it was such a heinous crime that it wouldn't be reduced.In a Federal Court Case, can a Felony Charge be reduced to a misdemeanor or even dropped at the sentencing?
i would think that since you are at the sentencing stage of the trial, guilt has already been proven, now it is up to the judge to decide on the sentence as the offence warrants. If it was to be reduced to a misdemeanour or dropped all together the trial would not have gone to sentencing.
