The prosecutor would have to "break down' the criminal charge. Occasionally it is done during 'plea bargaining.' The prosecutor may offer you a misdemeanor charge IF you agree to plead guilty to it. OR - if you have information that the prosecutor, or law enforcement, would like to know they MAY offer you a lesser charge in exchange for your giving up the information.

It depends on WHAT the offense was. You MIGHT be able to plea bargain a felony offense down to a misdemeanor, but realize that you will have to plead guilty to the misdemeanor in order to get the deal.

The only time this could possibly occur is during a "plea bargain" with the prosecutor PRIOR to trial and if you agree to plead guilty to the misdemeanor without going to trial. If you have already been convicted of the felony it is too late to do anything about it.

No, it can only be "dropped" completely if the actor wins on appeal.
