[QUOTE="Sunlight, post: 142844, member: 97"] hi there, hun, you pink tractor EZ rider you. Star, you are rightfully upset. many have been in your shoes but fear speaking out, or crawl off and cower til this passes. It is very brave of you to come forth and speak on your son's behalf. of course you are in distress, your son will be your son til one of you passes on from this life. our hearts are deeply embedded with the course of their lives. fear can make you not sleep not eat and suffer much. God is still able, Star. He has not left you nor your son. he will stand by and guide you as you seek out info and help. Your son should not take the plea if he is not guilty. My son Tony was guilty and facing more serious charges from his 4th DUI. so a plea was right for him. sad, but right. you have received much good advice: -dont take the plea -seek a juvenile court situation if he is underage -find out about sentencing guidelines -speak to the public defender about possible scenarios -it is true they first alarm you with worst case scenarios to encourage taking the plea some POs input helps, sometimes not. after Tony was already in state prison, he was pulled back to the county he was on probation in for his 3rd DUI. they violated him, meaning he got more trouble for getting in trouble. he got addtl time in prison, even though his PO spoke for him and said he always checked in, paid his fines and had been out for a year working daily. it was up to the DA and she was harsh on all prisoners that day it seemed. I do think the POs input got him a concurrent sentence (in other words, it runs along the time he is already in state prison) they do not like trials as they are costly and take time, the courts and prisons are all over filled. But your son deserves his day in court. so do you have him out on bail? has he had a preliminary hearing yet? You are gonna make it thru, so will your son. no matter the outcome. [/QUOTE]
