-- What is a Harvey Waiver? A stipulation in plea deals that allows judges to consider dismissed charges or uncharged offenses during sentencing or when ordering victim restitution.
-- How Does It Work? For example, a Harvey Waiver can require you to pay restitution for dismissed charges while receiving less jail time or avoiding jail altogether.
