It is certainly possible that the charge could get reduced or dropped but that is up to the DA's office ultimately and will depend on whether or not your sister has a record, the seriousness of the injury and her willingness to go forward. An experienced criminal defense attorney can help negotiate an acceptable resolution.

Any charge can be dropped, including first degree murder. It mostly depends on the specific circumstances. Get an attorney.
