The 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, and millennium!
Who is Alex Trebek?
Duh!!
Moar!
Niya has lost interest.
Well I found out that my younger brother is in jail.
I can't spare the details just yet because he's only been brought in, not tried in court yet.
But the charges range from b and e, to felony theft, to falsely filing a police report.
To be honest, I've never had to deal with this before. I mean I have a past that would put him to shame, but I never got caught... and I cleaned up.
I'm just scared because he could wind up in big boy prison for quite a while.
But at the same time I'm so <insert word here> <insert other word here> at him because he's taking this as a joke. I don't think he understands the gravity of the situation.
I'm just doing what my paw-paw told me to do a long time ago.

I'm sorry to hear that. Hope everything works out for the best.
First time offender? Any priors? If yes and no, then it might not be too bad, but not if he's not contrite about it.
Meanwhile, I can't tell if Niya is being Jovial, into Saturnalia, or is just mooning us.
First time offender and no prior(other than traffic violations). But I can tell you that the crimes being brought against him are very serious.
I take it that he can't claim the "Ford Defense" that it was just something he did in a drunken stupor?
That's too bad all around. Youth is wasted on the young. So many people end up looking back with regret.
Some people hope for hereafter without any good deeds , delay their repentance with their long wishes , talk like scholar but in behave they just like worldiness , If blessings be on him, is not enough and privation is not acceptable for him ,not thankfull from what hit him , and seeking indulgence from whats left
In the UK a first time offendor would pretty much just get community service unless their crime involved serious risk of death or permanent injury to someone. Don't know if that's the same in the US.
It sounds like your brother could maybe do with a bit of scaring straight but I hope they don't hit him with anything too serious. Best wishes.
In some states you have accelerated rehabilitation programs available to first time offenders. One year probation - stay out of trouble - cleared from your record.
That will cost several thousand in lawyer fees.
There are LAW forums - even using this vbbulletin web app - and they jump on helping with questions like this.
Yeah, my pops got hit a very good lawyer and I saw the fee for just 6 hours of labor.Quote:

Unfortunately Louisiana uses Napoleonic law(or Napoleonic code) so the way our legal system works is completely different than the rest of the states. Basically what I understand of Napoleonic law is that a) everyone gets the opportunity to state their case and b) once a convection is set for a crime, that sets the foundation for the sentencing of future crimes of similar nature.Quote:

That was a lot of big words.Quote:
