Four years four months is 1580 days. If he has 1105 actual days, and received half-time, or 50% credit, he has total days of 1725, which exceeds his sentence, so it sounds like he is eligible for release. But it's the jail, or probation department, that makes the formal calculation based on... Read more »

so if two kids in their 20’s try to get into a what seemed to be abandoned church, get detained, then told to leave, can one still be arrested?
If they were only detained and let go without being cited at all, never further happens. Also, the incident should not appear in their automated criminal record since there was no arrest.
One was later obtained hours after they went in my house without my consent
There are exceptions to the warrant requirement. Without one, evidence obtained as a result of a warrantless search of a residence is inadmissible in court. Whether an exception, or a valid warrant, made the search lawful cannot be determined without reviewing the facts of the incident, including... Read more »

It's my first time having trouble with the law. I was caught in possession of a small amount of psilocybin mushrooms a month ago when I was a minor. I'm an adult now, but I'm not sure if that makes any difference. Will I get drug tested on my court date?

You don't mention whether the police were given permission to enter the premises under the circumstances you described.

Your written statement is very unclear. Perhaps it would be easier to explain in a phone call. Many attorneys offer free initial consultations by telephone. Good luck.
Is that part of the normal sentancing process?
Sentencing hearing dates are set based on the needs of the court, the parties, and the type of case it is. Without knowing anything about the case, it's impossible to say why the hearing would have been scheduled as a delayed hearing.
