    Default What is Deferred Prosecution

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Iowa

    What is deferred prosecution? How long it is last? After that, will the case be dismissed as it is never happened?

    Any help is appreciated!

    What was the crime, the statute(s) you were charged under/cited, and the courts determination?

    Shoplift for goods around $12. It is 5th theft (simple misdemeanor). I just consulted a lawyer and have not go to court yet.

    Instead of pleading guilty or no contest as required with deferred judgment, there is no plea entered and prosecution is deferred to a later time; after you have completed community service and/or probation. This can help you get a true dismissal.
