A Louisiana Consent Hearing (Joint Request To Fix Trial) is a type of pretrial hearing in which the defendant and the prosecution both agree to the terms of a plea bargain. This hearing is also known as a Waiver of Trial, and it is available in criminal cases in which the defendant has been charged with a felony. At the hearing, both the defendant and the prosecution will agree to a plea bargain, which may include a reduction of charges, an agreement to a specific sentence, or a dismissal of the charges altogether. During the hearing, the judge will ask questions to ensure that the defendant understands the agreement and is entering into it freely and voluntarily. There are two types of Louisiana Consent Hearing (Joint Request To Fix Trial): a Judge Consent Hearing and a Judicial Consent Hearing. In a Judge Consent Hearing, the judge will review the agreement and either accept or reject it based on its legality and fairness. In a Judicial Consent Hearing, the judge will accept or reject the agreement based on the testimony of both the defendant and the prosecution.
