Prayer for Judgement Continued

The Prayer For Judgement law in North Carolina, unlike other U.S. states, allows traffic violators and some misdemeanor offenders to plead guilty for an offence and then ask for a "Prayer For Judgement" from the judge.[1] If granted, the offence is not entered against the defendant. While the offenses are still documented, points are not added and a granted Prayer for Judgement verdict is listed. In most cases, Prayer for Judgments can only be granted twice in five years per household, and they are not granted to commercial drivers[2].
