Would they make a deal on a domestic violence and rape case?

It all depends on all the firsts and circumstances of your case.

There is always the possibility that there may be some type of plea-bargain reached between the prosecutor and defense. However, the prosecutor is not forced to make a plea-bargain offer. Whether one will be available and pursuant to what terms is a matter of negotiations between the prosecutor and defense. You should consult with an attorney to assist you with this matter.

You should discuss this with the attorney you hire in this case. In many cases, a charge is reduced by virtue of a plea offer. However, it will vary by case and the facts in the case. More important are the consequences of the plea. If there is a registration requirement, then the plea may not be a favorable one.

It sounds like you are the victim and not the defendant. If that is the case, you can certainly make your wishes known to the prosecutor. They should take your position into account. Don't forget, if you are the complaining witness and the state has no other evidence except your word that this happened, you have a lot if influence over the outcome of the case. You should speak to an attorney about your concerns. You need to be careful that you do not violate the law in trying to accomplish your goals as well.

The prosecutor may seek your input with respect to plea negotiations.

I have no idea as it depends upon the particular facts of your case and how aggressive the prosecutor wants to be. Domestic violence and rape are VERY serious crimes and very rarely do I see prosecutors "dealing" unless there are serious proof problems with their case. Talk with an attorney.

It is not up to you as the victim to decide what the charges or penalties should be. You can talk with the district attorney and tell him the facts and what you would like to happen and why. However, it will be up to the district attorney as to the filing and plea offer.

The only person that can offer a deal is the prosecuting attorney. If you have strong feelings about the case you should speak with the prosecuting attorney and/or assistant prosecutor handling the case.

Any deals are up to the prosecuting attorney. You can call the prosecutor and tell them what you want to happen, but they do not have to listen to you.

Yes, there can be a deal as to the punishment as oppose to dropping the charges.

That is up to the prosecuting attorney. If he raped you, why do you want to reduce the charge. Sounds as if you need to get some therapy.

Different jurisdictions have different ways of negotiating sex cases. Some prosecutors are willing to negotiate on a case to spare an alleged victim the difficulty of testifying, other prosecutors try to manage heavy case loads through negotiation, and most prosecutors are willing to negotiate if there case has weaknesses.

Are you the victim? The prosecutor has a duty to inform you of all proceedings and to seek your input, but the final decision will be up to the prosecutor. They almost always offer some sort of plea deal in terms of lowering the charges and/or agreeing to a sentencing cap in order to avoid going to trial and making you testify and to avoid clogging up an already crowded court docket. Tell the prosecutor how you feel and you also have a right to be heard at the sentencing hearing.

My question is "Are you the victim?" If you are then talk with the prosecutor about your concerns. He will take them into account when dealing with the case.

Once a person is charged with a crime, the victim becomes little more than a witness. You don't get to tell the state how to proceed. The best you can do is talk to the people in the District Attorney's office, tell them what you think should be done, and hope they listen.

No one can know this information without actual knowledge of the case. This is something that must be answered by the attorney that is handling the matter.

Prosecutors weigh the strength of their case and the defendant's prior criminal history, if any, and make plea recommendations based on avoiding a trial. Usually a plea to lesser offenses will be offered.

You can always "make a deal" depending on what the DA wiill settle for, and what the judge will accept.

Can the case end up being reduced or dropped? Sure. Is that likely, just because you want it? No, the police and DA don't spend time and money arresting, charging and prosecuting cases only to drop them without a fight. DV charges are vigorous prosecuted in CA. What can you do? Hire an attorney, unless you know how to effectively represent yourself in court against a professional prosecutor intending to convict. The attorney will try to get a dismissal, diversion, reduction, or other decent outcome through plea bargain, using whatever facts and evidence is available, or take it to trial if appropriate.

You can almost always make a deal.
