More details to this question:
With a prior background years ago and having recently gotten a charge of 2nd degree burglary (meaning in this case intent to do harm to someone)however nothing ever happened never entered a dwelling never came face with the person but was on their property at time of arrest which happens to be someone have a past history with harrassing me so it was not just some random person I wanted to confront Have been doing well as far as going to college full-time and working part-time no issues and the court offering 4 years. Having a prior history in the past is it risky to take the matter to trial would it be worth the try or am I just digging myself deeper because they will have blinders on and only see the past?

98 percent of cases are settled by plea bargain for a reason. The court rules are stacked against one going to trial. I would negotiate utilizing the need to be anticipatory of the prosecutor's and judge's needs. I will explain. You then have an alternative to trial. Please call to discuss. Ed Dimon
