Q: How long after going to county jail do you go to court? My boyfriend's been in there for 2 weeks with no bail
He was picked up for 3 warrants. Aggravated unlicensed operator, obstructed view, and possession of a controlled substance 7th and has no bail. His public defender will not call me back and he has had no luck trying to call him. His mother is in the hospital very sick and almost died and he is my only support in dealing with my 6 year old daughter's court case where she was raped and I can't get any answers as to if or when he will be released
The charges are out of Binghamton, NY. He was picked up from my house on January 31st and the detective told me he would be released the same day. When I called the court they said he was remanded without bail because of the possession charge and because he had failed to appear in court before. He was offered probation before but he never went to court. His family wants answers as to if or when he will get out and I have none to give them. I have called the Broome county public defenders office repeatedly and they still won't call me back
A: They need to release him within a week without bail if they don't do a probable cause hearing. The story sounds a bit extreme for a couple of non violent misdemeanors. Which Court are these charges filed in?
