[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 576752, member: 2315"] Well I went to the Nami sight and they have a guide on navigating the judicial system if the defandant is MI. Very interesting stuff and it only makes me sa bit fearful to intervene. It seems that letting the prosecution and the judge know of MI before sentancing can actually backfire. Also if they get a guilty due to MI sentenc,e they can be held in a psyc facility indefinately! Even longer than their actual sentence. I definately will only go through his PD. Only he will be able to determine if a statement will help or hinder in the sentencing. No matter what though, I will contact the jails he is held in to let them know that difficult child needs to be observed and treated. He says the county facility currently has him on Prozac and welbutrin right now for severe depression. He claims to not be doing well and I believe him. He is 25 and is looking at incarceration till he is at least 37 and that is only if he is able to maintain an exemplary prison record. UG! -RM [/QUOTE]
