[QUOTE="Toomanytears, post: 743392, member: 22580"] Thank you all for responding.. I apologize for the delay.... I have copied quotes from your previous posts and am planning on sharing them with our son at a more opportune time. They are gifts to be shared, and would like them received by him as they are intended. Our son missed his flight. It got to be ridiculous- beyond ridiculous actually. We left it up to him to be on the next flight OR my husband and brother in law were heading on a road trip of 1100 miles one way to get him and drive back. He insisted he didn’t want them traveling that far he would be on next flight. He was. He greeted us at the terminal with his beautiful smile and an upbeat attitude. Beautiful night shared by all. The next 2 days were as if a light switch flipped off. He spent 2 full days in bed. Insisted that he had been up for days prior to coming home... Just to add fuel to the fire, the attorney called letting us know the original plea deal was withdrawn by the head DA (ADA offered original) and increased it to 5-10yrs. His initial response was anger, denial, “ I’m not accepting it, I’m going to trial” etc.. As a few hours passed, we arranged a 3-way call with attorney and her boss. He has a reputation ( by his defendants) for being a terrific go-to for a defense. Our son asked him pointed questions and he received honest answers. “Do NOT go to trial. Your record doesn’t allow for drug rehab has an option”.. and more. After exhausting all scenarios his mind has played and replayed, he finally said he will accept the deal. His 2 attorneys told him he absolutely has made the right decision. We have the plea hearing this coming week. This too can ultimately change but the attorneys feel confident it should go without a hitch. We will see. Now things will get interesting.. ( I loathe interesting). Will he turn himself in? Will he panic when the time comes and do something so very stupid? He keeps talking about being here for the holidays; which he still should be. Sentencing is to be deferred til early in the New Year. This procrastination of his is the enemy. Postponing is his MO. BUT days tick by, moments come and go. Then once again here we are again to face the inevitable. [/QUOTE]
