No your attorney will push you every bit as hard as a DA to plead out. Trials are expensive, no one wants one, and your attorney will never see a dime of what it is worth with a retainer agreement. If even more than 5% of their clients went to trial, they'd be out of business in no time.
This is why conviction rates are 95% from the time there is a charge, because of so much pressure overwhelming the decisions. Juries are typically loathe to convict without absolute certainty... they have to sleep at night too. A good defense attorney will raise sufficient doubt every time. Just the "what if" portion means they have to acquit by law.

Heavy security features, heavily plated glass, are the norm at most large trucking companies now.
They aren't protecting a "product". So the obvious answer is, they know they will provoke some drivers to violence.
If your company "knows" there's going to be violence. Then maybe you should look for another company. It's not safe there. -
Paraphanalia and speeding tickets are considered petty crimes. Yes, they are considered "misdemenors," but that's where it ends. Battery is not considered a "petty crime" anywhere, unless you happen to be kin to the police chief, judge or mayor - and no one has axes to grind. A conviction on a serious misdemenor will result in a criminal record. -
Fined...sent home. No record.
Of course, it doesn't help, that she has beat the #### out of him too on several occasions.
I know people who have stolen cars...no record. But local law knows about them.
I know this, because I have friends and family in law enforcement here locally. That doesn't help me when I get popped. But I do get to hear the BS they put up with, that gets swept under the rug. Some of it far worse than a simple misdemeanor. -
