Thank you for the post.

He is facing significant jail time. Whether he can plead it down depends on the facts of the case and defenses. An aggressive representation can often find holes in the prosecutions case. the more you can exploit those holes, the more likely it is that a prosecutor will offer a plea to a lesser offense.
