A disposition hearing in a felony case is a proceeding where the defendant can enter a plea. The hearing is typically held after the arraignment and before the trial. During the disposition hearing, the prosecution and defense may negotiate a plea deal or reach an agreement on the charges.
If a plea deal is reached, the defendant may plead guilty to a lesser charge in exchange for a reduced sentence. If no agreement is reached, the case will proceed to trial.
The judge will also consider other factors during the disposition hearing, such as the defendant's criminal history, the severity of the charges, and any mitigating or aggravating circumstances.
Ultimately, the outcome of the disposition hearing will determine how the case will proceed, whether it will go to trial or if a plea deal will be accepted.
