In a recent court session, Aldi Lynch formally rejected a plea bargain related to a third-degree felony charge of evading arrest with a vehicle. The charge stems from an incident on September 28, 2023. Lynch was informed that if found guilty at trial, she could face a prison sentence ranging from 2 to 10 years. The plea deal offered by the district attorney included a three-year deferred adjudicated probation and a $500 fine, which would prevent a felony conviction upon successful completion of probation. Lynch confirmed her understanding of the offer but opted to proceed to trial instead.

The judge emphasized that once the case is placed on the trial docket, the plea agreement would no longer be available. Lynch was advised that if she later wished to plead guilty, it would have to be under different terms. The court will schedule her trial for approximately three months from now, with notice expected within the week.

Additionally, the court addressed another case involving a defendant named Mr. Green, who is charged with possession of child pornography, a third-degree felony from March 23, 2022. The proceedings included a confirmation of his understanding of the charges and the implications of his plea. The court continues to manage these serious felony cases, ensuring defendants are fully informed of their rights and options as they navigate the legal process.
