Your criminal lawyer will look at every element of your case to uncover potential means to overcome the charge or get it reduced to a lesser count with lesser penalties.
For example, a prosecutor has some leeway in the types of charges he or she brings. It may possible to negotiate with the prosecutor to reduce a breaking and entering charge, or even a burglary charge, to a lesser offense such as trespassing.
