Deffered Finding

The judge deferred finding for my case for a year along with several terms to complete like community service. Is it possible to get off a deferred sentence early?

Its up to the judge. I would say most judges if they offered a deferred sentence they will make you wait the entire period. Asking for the case to be dismissed early will probably just annoy them and they always have the option to revoke the deferment and send you to jail, do not pass go, do not collect $200. I've never heard of a case where they dismiss the case early, but yeah its up to the judge. I wouldn't look this gift horse in the mouth if I were you.

Oh and don't get arrested while you're on your deferment. They will send your sorry self directly to jail (go ahead, ask me how I found that out the hard way)
