Q: My son is currently in prison as a youthful offender but was giving 6 years and 4 years probation, is this legal?
Daniel Marc Berman
Daniel Marc Berman
answered on Jun 27, 2012

If a youthful offender sentence was imposed, there is generally a 6 year maximum COMBINED for prison and probation, so if he did in fact get 10 total years it certainly should be looked into by hiring an attorney.

Only the State can charge you criminally with battery, so it's not your employer charging you. If you have a criminal charge pending against you then you need to hire a criminal defense lawyer to fight the case for you.
