Read moreThere is no way for us to know or guess what the outcome will be without more information. Did this charge involve an accident or injury to people or property? All of the factors surrounding his previous charges and their penalties will be used to determine how they will proceed in this third charge.
Read moreThe parole threshold dates are set by the judge in his Judgment and Commitment Order. If the inmate has already served 80% of their sentence, there were either no parole opportunities offered or they were denied. We know that the states offer 15% good time and if your inmate does indeed have a clean record, he might be within a year of being released to a halfway house. Of course, we are guessing because we do not have the benefit
Read moreThe short answer is a qualified maybe (and that is a long shot). When a defendent accepts a plea, part of the agreement they sign is they are "waiving their right to an appeal". So on it's face, there can be no appeal - which is the only way to get the sentence changed. When the plea is presented, the prosecutor's offer is not always accepted by the judge.

Your fiance has all the elements (repeat, gang, firearm, ex-con) of someone that is not a great candidate for leniency.
Read moreThe probation violation is the problem. More than likely, they are in no hurry to bring your brother before the judge. No bail means they think he will be remanded after the hearing and is likely to serve all or part of the original sentence he got probation on. We have written quite a bit about the perils of violating probation. The legal system has no patience or sympathy for the flaunting of the leniency he was provided. To find
Read moreLet's pretend that the Bill passes. It will not go into effect until late next year if it is not held up politically. Then the State will produce a document that will outline how the Bill will work and who exactly may benefit from it. Then the inmates that think they fit within the parameters of this law's guidelines will make their application. The application is reviewed and he is accepted. He goes back to his original sentence that is
