Q: My 63yo bf ran from police & jumped our fence to neighbors yard. The neighbors called because we were arguing loudly.
He saw police drive up & jumped our fence to neighbors yard & when he landed he broke his leg. Required surgery with pins & steel plate outside his leg to hold bones together. Police sit with him at hospital 24/7. Its a misdemeanor & Has not been booked yet. Needs transfer to rehab fac but police say they arnt proxy booking him. He is "remanded to court". It's been 7 days since the event. Its delaying his transfer to rehab. He has prior for domestic violence & restr. orders, why he ran. In CA, what does that mean & How will that work? Does that mean he's going to prison? He was diagnosed with cancer last year. What are the options?
A:
In California, being "remanded to court" means the defendant is being held in custody while awaiting a court hearing. The prior domestic violence and restraining order issues may impact the outcome of the current case. Depending on the specific circumstances and the severity of the misdemeanor charge, he may face penalties ranging from probation to potential jail time. The fact that he has been diagnosed with cancer may be considered as a relevant factor in his case, and it's essential for him to have legal representation to navigate the legal process and explore possible defense options.
