Q: My son was charged with two 2nd degree assault cases last year. He was given probation on both. He was never arrested
in either case and has no arrests on his record. He violated his probation by only completely 12 of 20 classes due to his work schedule. They are willing to accept him back in the classes. He turned himself in on Monday and has been sitting at BCDC since. He has not seen a commissioner or a judge and has a hearing date on 3/24. The warrants that were issued were no bail warrants but he said there are several people that have come to BCDC that had the same thing and were able to get out. His attorney has not even requested a bail review. Is there anything else that we can do. I find it to be awfully harsh that he has to sit there for almost 3 weeks for missing classes with no prior records and he did not re-offend. Do we have any options to get him out until his hearing date? Is it possible the judge doesn't realize he is there just because of missed classes?
A: If he has an attorney, he should consult the attorney on these issues. His attorney may be able to assist with these concerns. It would be inappropriate for me to comment on his specific case facts since he has counsel on this matter except to respond generally.
