The deal requires counseling and she doesn't think there's fundamentally anything wrong with her. Her "advisor" has convinced her that the most she'll get is 2 days in jail and it's just a misdemeanor and according to him that's a better deal than counseling and expunging the charges altogether.</div></div>
If she pleads, is it possible for you to enter a statement to the judge at sentencing, before sentencing? Or maybe speak to the DA before sentencing? It sounds like you think she really needs the counselling, and that the current situation is your current best hope for that to happen.
Maybe you could make sure it's part of the deal, whether she takes the plea bargain or pleads guilty?
Just a thought.
