Legal Question in Criminal Law in Colorado

Your question does not make sense to me. There is no difference between a deferred judgement and a deferred sentence. In fact the complete agreement is known as a 'deferred judgement and sentence." If she pled guilty without the advice of an attorney - that is not grounds to now seek a withdrawal of her plea.

It may seem unfair - but many - if not most people - in county or municipal court are not represented.

So here is what you need to do -- write to the court for the record of court proceedings and determine exactly what the plea agreement was. Do so immeidately - because there is a time deadline to collaterally attack ( try to undo ) the conviction - if it was a conviction.

Next - at the same time - order a transcript of the plea itself -- there may have been a jurisdictional error the judge may have made during the advisement - that could be used to unravel the plea. This is also time sensitive.

Finally you also may want to consult with a local attorney in the jurisdiction where this occurred - they will have a better understanding of your chances of success in attacking her plea.

Good luck. H. Michael
