Judges have the power to reject plea bargains in federal criminal cases; hiring an experienced federal criminal attorney can assist you in obtaining a positive result in your case

A federal judge recently rejected a plea bargain made between the accused and the prosecutors that would have given an Orange County billionaire probation for lying to regulators about his role in an alleged $2.2-billion stock-option scam. The defendant was facing charges that carried a maximum prison term of five years. However, under federal sentencing guidelines, probation would be considered appropriate for someone like the defendant with no prior record.

While it is rare for a judge to reject a plea bargain, it does happen and the judge is within his or her power to reject the terms of any plea arrangement.
