The law considers a DAGP a type of deferred prosecution but is probably more similar to a deferred judgment for the defendant's purposes.

If you had a filed contract - then it was deferred prosecution.

With a deferred sentencing agreement, the defendant does plead guilty but sentencing is deferred until certain conditions are met at which time the case is ...
