Q: My boyfriend is in Illinois prison for aggravated robbery with covid-19 and his asthma can we get him out sooner
A: You need to contact the attorney that assisted him with his case. That attorney will have all of the needed information in order to see if there is anything that can be done.
A:
There isn't enough information to answer the question here. You really need to sit down with a skilled criminal defense lawyer with all of the specifics so the lawyer can advise on the best path possible, and then you can decide whether it's worth the expense to hire the lawyer.
In a non-COVID world, I wouldn't write the above because that would promise the impossible. But there has been a movement across the country to get people out through motions in the courts or applications to State Governors. What once was not possible, there may be a chance, depending on your boyfriend's facts and personal circumstances.
