neutral Flavio Posse : El término "plea bargain" se traduce como "convenio declaratorio". La sentencia anticipada se conoce en USA como "proposed sentence" o "indicated sentence"/Un saludo cordial, Daniel.

accelerated sentenc/e/ing

On February 7, 2007, Judge Scaggs terminated Reid from the DrugCourt Program and accelerated sentencing. On March 27, 2007, Judge Scaggsfound Reid guilty on Counts I and II, and in accordance with the plea agree-ment for admission into Drug Court, imposed a term of (10) years imprison-ment on Count I and a concurrent term of twenty (20) years imprisonment on

• ICount II. Additionally, Judge Scaggs imposed judgments and sentencesagainst Reid on Counts III, IV, and V. Reid now appeals the final order terminating him from Drug Court andraises three claims of error:1.The trial court erred in accelerating sentence on Counts 3, 4,and 5 because those Counts were dismissed.2.The trial court abused its discretion in terminating Reid fromDrug Court rather than sanctioning him within the Drug CourtProgram.3.The trial court erred in imposing a twenty-year sentence forpossessing drugs as such punishment is excessive.We have reviewed each of Reid's Proposition of Error, and find that only Propo-sition I merits relief within this appeal.

Thanks, Roberto. I know that's what it is. I see it very often in my line of work. Oh, well. They will most likely use my term and award the points to a pal. Seen it before.
