update California’s attorney general is offering former Hewlett-Packard Chairman Patricia Dunn and four others charged in the HP spying scandal a chance to plead guilty to a misdemeanor, a source said Thursday.

Stephen Naratil, an attorney for data broker Bryan Wagner who is one of the defendants in the case, told the Associated Press that the plea agreement tendered by state prosecutors would allow all five defendants to avoid four felony charges stemming from an investigation launched last year by HP to find the source of a news leak.

A source close to the case, who asked not to be named, confirmed Naratil’s statement. Representatives for Dunn declined to comment
