aggrivated offenders only having to serve a third of their time? Is that true ?
Test results showing DNA from 5 people on a phone might be good evidence if your intention was to show that multiple people came into contact with that particular phone.
Since then the order of no contact was lifted and signed by Judge Vance. I have completed my ordered classes, paid off my fines and court costs. I still reside with the "victim".
I am at the halfway mark in terms of my probation.
How can I go about filing a motion for termination... Read more »
You can file a Motion to Modify your Sentence to Unsupervised Probation for the remainder. You need all costs paid perfectly, and the PO or DA can oppose it if they want. These Motions are usually granted if not immediately, then later. I recommend you have a competent attorney file it and... Read more »

But after he hit me I called the cops and they arrived 5 minutes later. But he was not at the scene. The police decided... Read more »
Don’t lie for him. The felony on his record is not your fault. It’s not your job to ‘get it off his record.’ You could benefit from some private legal consultation. Even if you are now on good terms, there is no real excuse for striking a woman, much less one who is 8 months pregnant.
He went to jail for one night I bailed him out that morning he got charged for domestic violence . It is his first offense but he is on informal probation right now. Will he be serving serious time? Or is there a chance the judge will recommend formal probation for longer time and anger management... Read more »

One route is to file an injunction to keep him away from you. Also, if he has an open criminal case, the judge more likely than not, have requested him to be away from you, your house, your place of employment, etc.
He has a court date for thursday, possible he will get out that day?
Yes (with restrictions), or you can bail him out before that date, unless specifically denied by a judge. He's facing 180 day in jail, but most likely probation.
Pressed The charges originally but if im the victim cant i have them dropped
You can drop the charges all you want to; however, the State will still think there is or was a case. It could take you 3 to 4 court cases to completely get them dropped if you back off. Don't file charges if you don't mean them.
Aggravated Assault first degree Felony.
You committed a very serious violent crime. No employer is going to want to take the risks associated with your employment. You really need to take actions to prove that you have or are in the process of rehabilitating yourself.
