A:
The actual time served for a 180-day jail sentence in LA County for domestic violence can vary based on several factors. Generally, in California, inmates may serve a portion of their sentence due to overcrowding and good behavior credits. However, the specific amount of time served can be influenced by the nature of the offense, your criminal history, and behavior while in custody.
For domestic violence cases, there might be additional considerations. California takes domestic violence offenses seriously, and the county may have specific policies regarding sentencing and time served for these offenses.
It's important to consult with your attorney or the court to get a more precise understanding of how much time will likely be served in your specific case. They can provide guidance based on the specifics of your case and any recent changes in the law or local policy that might affect your sentence. Remember, each case is unique, and the actual time served can differ from the sentence given, depending on individual circumstances.
