One-Step and Two-Step Felony Charge Reductions
There are two different types of reductions: one-step or two-step. The one you need depends on the degree of your criminal offense. A person with a third degree felony would need a one-step reduction to receive a Class A misdemeanor. A second degree felony would need a two-step reduction to have the charges brought down to a Class A misdemeanor.
An offense may only be reduced by one degree, unless the prosecutor formally agrees (either in writing or court record) that the offense may be reduced by two degrees. No offenses, under the 76-3-402 can be reduced more than two degrees.
