Can my charges be amended or changed?

Yes. The prosecutor has the authority to amend or change your criminal charge. A felony DWI, for instance, can be amended to a misdemeanor as part of a plea deal. A prosecutor can also dismiss charges as part of a plea deal. If you are charged with 11 counts of felony theft, the prosecutor can amend those 11 felonies and replace them with one misdemeanor if your attorney forces an excellent deal.
