A Prayer for Judgment (PJC) is more formally called “Prayer for Judgment Continued.” Depending on several factors, when a defendant pleads guilty, or is found guilty, the judge may decide not to enter a final judgment. Sounds great, right?
Well, it’s not that simple. The court is not allowed to grant a PJC for certain offenses and PJCs may be treated like convictions in other matters. You may, also, be limited on how many you can have before experiencing other negative effects.
