Usually only one - take it or leave it - unless you really have something to bargain with.
There are a few cases where the courts will make a plea offer prior to the grand jury. The plea must be accepted by the DA.
No one can offer a credible answer to this question. Too little is known about the nature and result of the crime, or the perpetrators past record. However, it can safely be said that ONLY the DA holds the power to offer, or not offer, a plea bargain.
If you did not do it, don't plea to it. Do you have a good lawyer? If you have a public defender, you will be told to plea. My advice is to spend thousands for a good defense lawyer that specializes in cases like yours. If you get a run of the mill lawyer, you'll get a run of the mill defense. DA's are relentless and will not give up, so neither should you. A DA's worst fear is a jury!
In Louisiana you typically serve half of your sentence so if you plea to two years you would likely serve one.
In order to formulate a response to this question more must be known about the circumstances supporting the reason the chargees were "dropped."If the prosecutor did Nolle Prosse the charge, it generally means that their office believes that the facts presented to them did not meet, or support, the charge for which he was arrested.As to the viability of a civil case: the gravity of the subject matter requires that it be discussed with the attorney that is going to be retained to bring the civil suit. This site, as good as it is in many areas, is not the venue to address the possible outcome of such an action.Added: An Alford plea refers to a plea in which the defendant is not required to testify about the details of the offense when tendering his plea. The Alford plea cuts off one avenue of testimony which a civil litigant might have used against the defendant.
