And my boyfriend was on parole I sent him to go take my son money and I forgot it was in there but it was mine

Talk to his lawyer, and be ready with the facts, about when and where you acquired the gun, and when... Read more »

Prison prior- 667.5(b) enhancements are now gone- but not 667a enhancements. If he successfully participated as a hand crew member at fire camp, once he's been released from custody, he can apply for relief from the convictions that sent him there, and parole, under the new 1203.4b P.C.
