What I am trying to do is to use InternalOffenseHistoryID to find and display Plea's ChargeID. I need to find the PleaEventSequence with the highest number (example 2) in ChargeHistory and then find the Plea's InternalOffenseHistoryID that matches that ChargeHistory's InternalOffenseHistoryID.

How do I do this?

Here is my xml doc

I am using the following a xslt template

It would seem that first you need to find the highest number of PleaEventSequence. It is not clear whether this is over the entire document or specific to a single <Charge>.

Presuming you are in the context of a single Charge element you can do something like this (typed, not tested):
Code: 
<xsl:variable name="myHistoryID">
[indent]<xsl:for-each select="ChargeHistory">[/indent]
[indent][indent]<xsl:sort select="@PleaEventSequence" data-type="number" order="descending"/>[/indent][/indent]
[indent][indent]<xsl:if test="position() = 1"><xsl:value-of select="@InternalOffenseHistoryID"/></xsl:if>[/indent][/indent]
[indent]</xsl:for-each>[/indent]
</xsl:variable>

You could also use recursion, but that is a bit more complex and for this situation I would use <xsl:sort>

Then, the XPath expression that returns the corresponding <Plea> node is:
Code: 
//Plea[@InternalOffenseHistoryID = $myHistoryID]

So, putting this all together in an example that would iterate through all the charges, you would have something like this:
Code: 
<xsl:for-each select="//Charge">
[indent]<xsl:variable name="myHistoryID">[/indent]
[indent][indent]<xsl:for-each select="ChargeHistory">[/indent][/indent]
[indent][indent][indent]<xsl:sort select="@PleaEventSequence" data-type="number" order="descending"/>[/indent][/indent][/indent]
[indent][indent][indent]<xsl:if test="position() = 1"><xsl:value-of select="@InternalOffenseHistoryID"/></xsl:if>[/indent][/indent][/indent]
[indent][indent]</xsl:for-each>[/indent][/indent]
[indent]</xsl:variable>[/indent] 
[indent]<xsl:for-each select="//Plea[@InternalOffenseHistoryID = $myHistoryID]">[/indent]
[indent][indent] <!-- we are now in the context of the selected Plea element --> [/indent][/indent]
[indent][indent]<PleaText><xsl:value-of select="PleaType"/></PleaText>[/indent][/indent]
[indent]</xsl:for-each>[/indent]
</xsl:for-each>

I hope this gives you a correct idea of how to find your desired Plea element...

This was helpful Tom. However I think my description was not clear. The result I got was Guilty. However I wanted to get the ChargeID instead.

Please not there could be more than one PleaEvent and each PleaEvent can have more than one ChargeHistory.

Here is a better description of what I am trying to do.

What I am trying to do is get the ChargeID=10485838 . To get this chargeID, I need to look in the ChargeHistory element for the Stage="Plea Event" and find the PleaEventSequence value with the highest event number (for example PleaEventSequence="2") and then find the Plea in the PleaEvent node whose ChargeHistoryID matches the Charge node's ChargeHistoryID . In my case this would be ChargeHistoryID="41274044".
Someone please help me with his one.

A bit of a non sequitur.

So let's take this one step at a time. because there is still ambiguity in your problem statement.

Any ChargeHistory element? Is there a guarantee that there will be only one element with a 'highest' value for PleaEventSequence? Looking at the posted download XML document, this is indeed the case, but will it always be the case?

Yes it is the case that there will always be only one element with a highest value for PleaEventSequence.

I have resolved this by adding 2 variables in my xslt code. Then I stored InternalOffenseHistoryID for the Charge and for the PleaEvent.

Code: 
<xsl:variable name="vInternalOffenseHistoryID">
	<xsl:value-of select="//Charge[@ID=$pChargeID]/ChargeHistory[@Stage='Plea Event'][last()]/@InternalOffenseHistoryID"/>
	</xsl:variable>
     <xsl:variable name="vPleaEventID">
	<xsl:value-of select="//PleaEvent[count(Plea[@InternalOffenseHistoryID=$vInternalOffenseHistoryID])>0]/@ID"/>
	</xsl:variable>
	<!--Return the selected PleaEventID-->
	<xsl:value-of select="$vPleaEventID"/>

This may be unreliable, depending upon how the document is serialized by the generating application. The fact that you are using the predicate [tt][last()][/tt] depends upon the fact that the desired ChargeHistory node is always the last ChargeHistory node in document order. It is probably better not to rely on document order for such a complex document, when a more reliable mechanism is available.

For your first variable, perhaps this:
Code: 
<xsl:variable name="vInternalOffenseHistoryID">
[indent]<xsl:for-each select="//Charge[@ID=$pChargeID]/ChargeHistory[@Stage='Plea Event']">[/indent]
[indent][indent]<xsl:sort select="@PleaEventSequence" data-type="number" order="descending"/>[/indent][/indent]
[indent][indent]<xsl:if test="position() = 1"><xsl:value-of select="@InternalOffenseHistoryID"/></xsl:if>[/indent][/indent]
[indent]</xsl:for-each>[/indent]
</xsl:variable>

This will assure you that you are indeed getting the node that has the highest PleaEventSequence numeric value, without regard to document order. The nodes that are selected by the for-each are sorted on the value of the PleaEventSequence attribute in descending numeric order, and then the <xsl:if> allows the value of the first node (the one with the highest value) to participate in setting the value of the variable.
