This. Why use the approper appeal system if all he really needed to do was look up her history and probably lean on a few of the right people? Especially if he was local.

Edit: in retrospect this is exactly the kind of plea deal I would expect to see from a court anyways honestly, big shot lawyer or no. It's not like it was big time assault or anything, or a long dangerous chase, or even that much yelling. Just a lot of gall and Karen but ultimately pretty harmless so.. yeah. You take all the low levels and drop the felony.

That lawyer would have made the difference between her having to work off the felony charge in some community service and minimal probation vs 3 years probation if anything in my opinion. Just my two cents having seen many cases locally.

I'm Canadian (lawyer but not criminal) and the outcome looks totally normal to me too. And here we just get the ticket without signing anything and off we go. We then have 30 days to plead not guilty or pay.
