DEFERRED SENTENCES Our first goal in all our cases is to try to get the charges dismissed outright. But the next best scenario is to get a deferred sentence under C.R.S. 18-1.3-102. This is when the judge agrees to dismiss your case following a period of probation. Defendants are more likely to be granted a deferred sentence in Colorado if: 1. their charge is for a minor misdemeanor, such as drug possession for personal use, speeding, or public intoxication, and 2. it is the defendants’ first brush with the law Once the judge agrees to grant a deferred sentence, the defendant would waive the right to trial and initially plead guilty. However, the judge would not impose any judgment. Instead, the judge would order that the defendant complete various probationary terms, such as paying a fine, doing community service, or going to counseling. If the defendant completes all these terms in the allotted period of time, the guilty plea would be withdrawn. Then the judge would dismiss the case, and the defendant’s future background checks would show no guilty plea and no conviction for that case. But if the defendant does not complete all the probationary terms, the judge may immediately convict and sentence the defendant. And depending on the case, the sentence could include jail time.
