[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 416619, member: 1514"] Hi, Sorry it has come to this but isnt it interesting how many of us can chime in with advise about jail! Sad isnt it? I know more about the court system than I do about college admissions! (Thanks Cory!) As the others have suggested, you can most likely find out what she was arrested for online if you can find the docket. Here I would search for the NC Court Docket I think is how I found it. I really cant remember exactly. Just google some names and you will eventually come up with something. It is a free thing so dont pay! It should list what she is charged with and her court date. Not much more. Now, dont get in too big of a tizzy about it being a felony. There a BIG felonies and there are little felonies. Murder is a BIG felony. If she stole something worth more than a hundred bucks thats a little felony. If she even forged a check for 5 bucks, thats a felony. Heck...even for a dime thats a felony. If she has never been in trouble before and lets say she got caught shoplifting an Ipod worth $300, well, then yeah its a felony but they arent going to lock her up for life. Actually, she will probably be arraigned as soon as they can get her before the judge, bail will be set for around ...ehhh...I would bet around 1 or 2 grand and if no one comes to get her in a week or two she will be let go on her own recognizance. I have always had very good luck with talking with my son's Public Defenders and the DA's for him. Of course, I was in the unenviable position in one case of being both the victim and the mom to the accused so I was working with both the defense and the prosecution to try to get the best outcome possible. I guess I did. Sigh. [/QUOTE]
