[QUOTE="DDD, post: 143121, member: 35"] Regarding State "guidelines" I feel compelled to note that in Florida it is a bunch of nonesense. I only share this because I don't want you to be as naive as we were. At a Bond hearing (I hired a private attorney for $400 for that hearing as you can't get one with a P.D.) the Judge said (and it is recorded) "let me look up the points for X (pause) well he has nowhere enough points for prison to even be considered. That is good because I believe his brain injury probably has impacted him and we WOULD NOT WANT to send him away as he needs to stay home." The S.A. continued to threaten "up to 7 years in prison" if X didn't admit his guilt. In Court when the Judge afforded me the opportunity to speak I addressed this issue. I said "Your Honor at a bond hearing held on x/x/x YOU checked the record on your own accord and stipulated that my grandson did not have have anywhere near enough points for prison and further that he shouldn't go there. The S.A. is giving my grandson the choice of two years in prison or continued probation. Our family does not understand how Mr. C can threaten X with prison when you stated he was not eligible." I don't want to keep rehashing our experience BUT even though it is wise to gather as much information as possible...don't trust the system. DDD [/QUOTE]
