    Default Change of Verdict

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: california

    so i went to my arraignment for a petty theft misdemeanor/commercial burglary and i was able to get a diversion program. my friend whose also being charged with the same thing is taking her side of the case to pre-trial. we were both arraigned on separate days...but depending on her outcome and what happens with her, is it possible for my verdict to changed as well? i dont want to loose my chance at having this dismissed depending on what happens to her, but im scared that the judge she has might overturn my sentence (the diversion program) because of what happens to her.

    also have another question, ive seen in other threads that the initial arrest will show up on my record with the original charge...is it possible to get that expunged when im done with the diversion program?

    The outcome of her trial should not affect your diversion. Your diversion already presumes you are guilty.
