Once you are convicted of a particular crime under the laws of all states in this country you cannot get the conviction reduced to a lesser included offense. Rather, the time to make your decision as to proceeding to trial or settling is before you enter a guilty plea to a particular crime charged against you. If you do not have a criminal defense attorney assisting you in the matter you have written about, I suggest that you consult with one sooner rather than later.
