Sorry, got locked out of the cage!

Yes, I found a prior record for Lisa in Tennessee. 04/25/2000

It was for assault and dated back to 2000. Disposition was: 40-35-313-judgment deferred-no conviction.

That's all I can offer.

Anyone know what 'judgement deferred' means?  Doesn't sound the same as 'charges dropped'. 

Generally, there are two types of deferred resolutions to criminal charges: a deferred prosecution and a deferred judgment.

In a deferred prosecution, the proceedings in a criminal case are put off for a period of time, say one year, subject to certain conditions. The typical condition is that the defendant not be charged or convicted of other crimes during this period. At the end of the time period, if all conditions have been met, the charges are dismissed. No plea of guilty or judgment of conviction is entered. If the defendant doesn't comply with the conditions of the deferred prosecution, the prosecution of the case continues and the defendant can either plead guilty or proceed to trial.

With a deferred judgment, the defendant must enter a plea of guilty. The case is continued for a period of time subject to certain conditions, usually including that the defendant not be convicted of another crime. If the defendant abides by the conditions, at the end of the time period the guilty plea is considered withdrawn and no judgment of conviction or sentence is entered. While the defendant is free to say he's never been convicted of a crime, the guilty plea could have possible future ramifications. For example, deferred judgments are counted in computing a defendant's criminal history score under the federal sentencing guidelines.

In addition, if the defendant violates the terms of a deferred judgment, the guilty plea is binding and the court will proceed to sentencing, without a trial. Obviously, from a defendant's standpoint a deferred prosecution is preferable to a deferred judgment. Prosecutors also offer it far less frequently.

You should discuss any decision on whether to take a deferred prosecution or deferred judgment with a qualified criminal defense attorney. Lawyers.com has a free service called Lawyer Locator that can help you find a lawyer in any city and state in the United States.

NG is saying Misty is back in town.


"Breaking News -- Investigators ramp up their search for missing Florida girl Haleigh Cummings while the key witness in the case, Haleigh's stepmom baby sitter Misty Croslin, is finally back in town after going AWOL! What does she know about the night Haleigh vanished from her home and will new pressure tactics from police get her to tell all? Plus, detectives follow up on a tip delivered to a newspaper, but it leads them back to square one! Nancy Grace has the latest breaking developments, 8 & 10 p.m. ET on HLN. "

Thanks, Mudder! 

How on earth can NG keep getting away with being so misleading?  According to reports we've read, LE and Misty's attorney knew exactly where Misty was at all times, even tho not necessarily telling 'the public' the truth about that.  So why does NG get a free pass to report to the public that Misty was "AWOL"??   

If someone's only access to the news in this case and others, was thru NG, can you imagine how very uninformed that person would be?  Sheeeesh!  I know other monkeys have said that too, just agreeing.

What is a deferred judgement?
As a result of a plea agreement with the prosecution, you plead guilty to one or more charges. You are placed on probation prior to sentencing and prior to any entry of conviction. If you successfully complete your probationary period your guilty plea is withdrawn and the case against you dismissed... The record shows that the charges against you were dismissed so your record remains clean. If you are alleged to violate the terms of the deferred judgment, a hearing will be held.

OT, Mark Lunsford will always suffer no matter what happened to Couey.
But at least it spared Mark from ever having to make any other courts appearances for any nonsense that a lawyer could dream up. 
..
So, Misty is back. Oh wow. Bombshell. Breaking news. Same old, " I was at work " from Ron , " I was at home washing blankets." from Misty. NG's program is going to be a total waste.
