[QUOTE="skeeter, post: 142836, member: 439"] Star - I'm sure you've checked, but is there any kind of advocatecy group in your area? husband is member of Court Watch here, who purpose is to follow cases of someone that lives in our area and commits a crime, or someone who commits a crime in our area. But he spends as much time trying to get appropriate help for the accused as he does having input on community control conditions, etc. Our jail is full, so it takes some really bad crimes to get put away for any real length of time. But we also do NOT have the appropriate psychological services needed to keep some out of jail. We've come to the conclusion that jail is ONLY to protect society (no rehab, no punishment) and if someone is not a real menace to society, they don't belong in jail. Do you know yet who Dude's judge will be? Can you talk to the prosecutor at all? Sometimes knowing and talking to these people can help - really depends on the judge. I'll keep you and Dude in my thoughts and prayers..... [/QUOTE]
