A. Statutory Authority: The judge may suspend, modify, defer or reduce a sentence in accordance with 11 Oklahoma Statutes sections 27-123 and 27-124.
B. Discretionary Action Of Judge: A judge who is licensed to practice law in the state in imposing a judgment and sentence, at his discretion, is empowered to modify, reduce, or suspend or defer the imposition of such sentence or any part thereof and to authorize probation for a period not to exceed six (6) months from the date of sentence, under such terms or conditions as the judge may specify. Procedures relating to suspension of the judgment or costs or both shall be as provided in 11 Oklahoma Statutes section 27-123. Upon completion of the probation term, the defendant shall be discharged without a court judgment of guilt, and the verdict, judgment of guilty or pleas of guilty shall be expunged from the record and the charge dismissed with prejudice to any further action. Upon a finding of the court that the conditions of probation have been violated, the municipal judge may enter a judgment of guilty. The judge may continue or delay imposing a judgment and sentence for a period of time not to exceed six (6) months from the date of sentence. At the expiration of such period of time, the judge may allow the municipal attorney to amend the charge to a lesser offense. If a deferred sentence is imposed, an administrative fee of not to exceed one hundred dollars ($100.00) may be imposed as costs in the case. (1990 Code § 6-128)
