Q: Husband has pretrial coming up the 25th all 3 charges are misdemeanors.Hes been locked up since July 1st
What are the chances he will get time served? They are giving 2 for 1 and he does have to be reinstated on his probation which he had six months left on that
A: There is no way for attorneys who are unfamiliar with your husband's cases to have a clue whether he will get time served or serve a 1 year jail sentence. You haven't even told us what the charges are. The truth is, any lawyer who could know the answer to your question would be burned as a witch. Get him a good lawyer and talk to that lawyer after she have talked to your husband and the prosecutor. Oh, and after she has looked at the evidence she might have some inkling of what will happen. If any attorney tells you he/she knows what the court will do with your husband before he/she has done the actual work that must be done in order to assess the case, run from that lawyer with your best and fastest tennis shoes.
