ADVICE<br />
Because attempt carries a<br />
shorter maximum sentence,<br />
an attempt plea to a class 6<br />
felony that is a CMT may<br />
give benefit. See Note:<br />
Safer Pleas.<br />
Good alternate plea to<br />
avoid agg felony (except <strong>for</strong><br />
COV), especially <strong>for</strong> drug<br />
offenses. Also reduces<br />
potential sentence which<br />
may aid <strong>for</strong> CMT. Some<br />
legislative threat; see Note:<br />
Safer Plea.<br />
Consider solicitation<br />
instead.<br />
See Note: Safer Pleas.<br />
Reduced sentence may<br />
help CMT. See Note: Safer<br />
Pleas.<br />
Keep victim’s age (if minor)<br />
out of record of conviction.<br />
To avoid agg fel, try <strong>for</strong> A1;<br />
to avoid CMT, try <strong>for</strong> A4<br />
See manslaughter<br />
See manslaughter<br />

Maybe, if<br />
record shows<br />
serious<br />
physical injury<br />
Deportable <strong>for</strong> child<br />
abuse if the record<br />
shows victim was a<br />
minor<br />
Good alternate to other<br />
charges, such as<br />
aggravated assault,<br />
misconduct w/ a weapon.<br />
Keep age of victim out of<br />
the record.<br />
