Q: Brother getting charged with domestic violence plea bargain is 2 Years state prison. Doesn’t want to accept.
No prior domestic violence record, police officers took several pictures of balls of hair on floor and his girlfriends face was twice her normal size. She has talked to the da and told him she doesn’t want my brother to do jail time.
A:
To properly evaluate any legal question a lawyer needs a thorough summary of the facts.
This involves not just your interpretation but what the other side is saying too.
If you are not clear then the lawyer will no doubt be challenged to correctly respond. It is the old adage: “Junk in, junk out”.
On any legal question you should contact a local lawyer and present him/her with ALL the facts. That way your lawyer can talk to the DA or Judge to properly resolve your case.
It is not up to girlfriend to decide on jail time. It sounds like he beat her up real bad. the severity of the injury is a major factor.
