Re: HELP! (personal/low content)
Yes, there's a reasonable chance, but you'll have to negotiate with the prosecutor. Judges don't like people who skip out on jury duty, it makes their job harder. You can try calling the prosecutor yourself if you know who he is, but I wouldn't try that unless I didn't have the money for a lawyer. My wild guess estimate for the attorney's fee if it's a relatively simple plea bargain is $500-$1000.
I wouldn't be shocked if you got a few days to a few weeks in the county jail over this if you go to trial, but I doubt a plea bargain will involve jail time.
