California Plea In Absent (Criminal) is a process in which a criminal defendant enters a plea of guilt without being present in court. This process is sometimes referred to as “plea by mail” or “plea by proxy”. It can be used when a defendant is unable to attend court due to a medical condition, employment, or other valid reasons. It is most commonly used in cases involving misdemeanors or lesser-included offenses, and is not usually available for felonies. There are two types of California Plea In Absent (Criminal): 1. Waiver of Personal Appearance: This type of plea is available in most criminal cases and allows a defendant to enter a plea without appearing in court. 2. Plea by Proxy: This type of plea requires a defendant to be represented by an attorney in court while entering a plea. It is typically used when a defendant is unable to attend court due to a medical condition or employment.
