The prosecution and defense share some similarities in that both:

  • are lawyers
  • must deal with a Judge
  • must often deal with media
  • develop a pre-trial strategy
  • present a theory of the crime
  • offer a theory of "who done it"
  • have some level of public speaking
  • can offer reasons for the strategy or strategies they each pick
  • revise their strategies as needed during trial
  • are (hopefully) passionate in presenting their cases
  • think quickly on their feet
  • represent a particular entity in the case (defense: defendant ; prosecution: victim via "The State")
  • must often deal with family members
  • feel somewhat victorious when they win their arguments and/or the case
  • win some cases
  • lose some cases
  • continue on to the next case
  • may have repeat business with one particular client or a defendant

How do you defer a minor in possession charge?

Assuming what is meant by "defer" is a pre-trial diversion, which is the recommendation of the prosecutor with agreement from the court (judge) to place the accused a conditional probationary period. If the accused person completes the agreement as set out by the court, there is no trial and the charge(s) is dismissed. The defense counsel can request the action, but the decision belongs the presiding judge based on the circumstances of the case. A person who has previous criminal convictions will not qualify for a PTD.
