[QUOTE="Lil, post: 651235, member: 17309"] Legally? Not so much. I walked in and played lawyer for 10 minutes and the PA gave me a deal. Given he has (had) no priors and is only 19, it was a good deal, but nothing exceptional. Emotionally? I told him I'll never do it again, and I won't. I won't put myself thru it again. Oh but he does. He wants us to do everything for him. If he didn't, he wouldn't even tell us about these things. Yes...that would be what he got pissy about today outside of the courtroom. We were early and I took him aside and reminded him that he HAS to get a job. That he will have 60 days to pay for his community service and court costs and if he doesn't his SIS will likely be changed to a sentence and we don't want him to go to jail, but we WILL let him...we won't pay these fees. Apparently, I'm not supposed to say such things, because he already knows, I've said them before and I don't have to repeat myself....like I didn't have to repeat myself about looking decent for court. Which I did...but it did no good. God, he looked like...I don't even have a description. :( He's always been skinny and pale, but he's worse. Hair greasy clear to the ends. Smelled like an ashtray. Back in private practice, I'd have chewed my client out for showing up like that...and I did him too. He told me that he showered yesterday. smh Maybe, but he hasn't washed his hair or cleaned his fingernails in weeks. Anyway...he now knows he has until May 13 to get everything done. We'll do nothing else for him on this. [/QUOTE]
