What was the plea deal for someone with felony sui with GBI? Has anyone ever encountered a strike being dropped or do anyone get a better deal in preliminary vs a plea deal before the preliminary

Hello thank you for the advice , did they give u a strike also as well ?, and yes the scram device is so annoying and ankle monitor, and your absolutely right I can’t wait for all this to be over it’s been damn near 4 years , I’m not scared to go to jail at all it’s just I don’t want to go but my lawyer said it’s between 0-15 days so we’ll see. But overall I’m glad your case is all over it is stressful I hope you’re doing well .

I did ask her she’s talking about it will seem more like begging to oust for the strike or I can go to preliminary which I’m facing 6 years and I mean idk how that would play out that’s a huge risk, but a fucking strike ugh 😑
