Stormy, so you know what your husband is facing in terms of a sentence for this thing? Is probation a possibility? Do y'all have any idea at all? When is his sentencing hearing?

the lawyer assured the max he would get is a 5 yr probation time, but then that also comes after promising that we had it beat due to lack of evidence, so until the 22 of this month, there will not be a certain future, but I do know this, he is ex law enforement, and if he goes to prison, he will be killed due to all the gang members he locked away, or put in restraints while in the jail

Pardon my language and all, but it sounds like the judge has his head up his ass Stormy. How is the charge enough if there is no evidence that he did it or a testimony that was against him? I have seen a lot of this similar thing presented in The System, Forensic Files, FBI Files on Discovery, and it makes no sense to me how he gets charged with nothing pinned on him except suspicion. I know watching Court Tv doesn't make me an expert, but it gives me some basic knowledge of the court system and usually if there is nothing to be charged with, you don't go with "gut instinct" and say he's guilty anyway. That's for a jury to decide.

SM, I thought it was standard practice to make sure to put ex-police or other enforcement officials in jails away from their former precincts? I certainly hope you don't have to deal with it, but if so, I hope that's how it works!

I can barely believe this is actually happening.
If you can't get the judge to see reason than put the judge on trial. If you think the judge is not doing his job then you should be able to get the judge in trouble. Go to another judge(s) officially or otherwise or a government official. Get the community involved. Picket. Protest. Sue. Real sorry to hear it though. Good Luck |

You may want to consider whether or not your current lawyer is capable of defending you in the case. Law starts out in university, like many other things. Some people really know what they're studying, learn it well, and are ambassadors for their profession. Others squeak by, passing exams by the narrowest of margins and lending credence to all the stereotypes about their professions. Hey, lawyer jokes generally have their basis in fact somewhere...
I'm no lawyer (nor do I play one on TV), and I would wonder what the specific criteria are for the specific crime I was considered to have committed. A logical analysis of why the judge has come to this conclusion will either explain his motives and reasoning, or will leave the water sufficiently muddy that it will be apparent that there is no straightforward reason. Once you get to that point, you have the opportunity for media publicity to sway others (i.e. politicians) to your side. I don't know how it is in Arkansas, but here, the Attorney General is an elected position... and elections are coming up next year... I also recognize that I haven't seen or heard all the facts or testimony that were presented. There may be more to the case, and more to what's been said. That's something your current (or replacement [img]smile.gif[/img] ) lawyer would be able to address. Good luck to you. *B* |
