Condiciones para la Desestimación de Cargos en Minnesota

Explicación Simple

Es como si te dieran una segunda oportunidad en un examen. Si cumples con las reglas y no has hecho trampa antes, puedes tener la chance de aprobar sin que cuente como un fallo.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan, que nunca ha tenido problemas legales, es acusado de un delito menor. Si acepta seguir un plan de pagos para la manutención de sus hijos y cumple con las condiciones, podría evitar un juicio y que su historial se vea afectado.

Penalidades

Texto Original del Estatuto (Inglés)

A person is eligible for a discharge and dismissal under this section, if the person: (1) has not been previously convicted of a felony under the laws of this state or elsewhere; (2) has not been previously convicted of a violation of section609.375or of a similar offense in this state or elsewhere; (3) has not previously participated in or completed a diversion program relating to a charge of violating section609.375; and (4) has not previously been placed on probation without a judgment of guilty for violation of section609.375. For a person eligible under subdivision 1 who is charged with violating section609.375, the court may after trial or upon a plea of guilty, without entering a judgment of guilty and with the consent of the person, defer further proceedings and place the person on probation upon such reasonable conditions as it may require and for a period not to exceed the maximum sentence provided for the violation. At a minimum, the conditions must require the defendant to: (1) provide the public authority responsible for child support enforcement with an affidavit attesting to the defendant's present address, occupation, employer, current income, assets, and account information, as defined in section13B.06; and (2) execute a written payment agreement regarding both current support and arrearages that is approved by the court. In determining whether to approve a payment agreement under clause (2), the court shall apply the provisions of chapter 518A consistent with the obligor's ability to pay. Upon violation of a condition of the probation, including a failure to comply with the written payment agreement approved by the court under subdivision 2, clause (2), the court may enter an adjudication of guilt and proceed as otherwise provided in law.
