I was charged with several charges as a result of a bad check.I pled guilty to one charge misdemeanor and the other charges were put on a stet docket for 90 days. The judge indicated she would consider probation before judgment and i was sentenced to 1 year probation. Please explain what happens to the stet docket charges after 90 days? How will i know if the judge granted the probation before judgment.

Two different things are happening. In order to request probation before judgement you or your attorney must file a motion for modification within 90 days from the day that you were sentenced. If you miss the deadline, then you will be stuck with the conviction. If you file by the deadline then the court may schedule a hearing to consider whether to grant pbj.

Stet is an inactive status. It is neither a conviction nor a dismissal. Any time within a year either you or the state may request a trial date. After a year the requesting party must show good cause to the court why the matter should be set for trial. After three years you may request expungement. By agreeing to enter stet, you have waived your right to a speedy trial, if the matter is set at a later time.
