scottobearBrother didn't get released today... they didn't take into account his two most recent charges. After making him, my mother and her husband wait for three hours, it turns out that they were ill-prepared, and rescheduled for an April 2nd hearing. From what I understand, now he wants to take his case to court, rather than plead for 3 years probation.
That would make him an idiot.
Worst-case scenario, he could get up to five years in jail. Best case, of course, would be charges dropped. I think that's highly unlikely, but what do I know? I wouldn't roll dice on it.
Either way, we wait a week and see what happens.
Opposing legal advice - One Attorney says to bail him out, get him a residence, and a chance to find a job, that'll look good when he goes to trial. Another says "if you bail him out, and he runs, it will mean financial ruin for you." honestly, at this point, I don't trust him not to run, even if he claims that he's going to get off not guilty after taking it to trial. I also think that he's learned nothing from his month in jail.
Anyhow, no dinner out tonight. It was raining rally hard this afternoon too... My umbrella did a nice job keeping my head and left shoulder dry, but the rest of me was soaked to the bone by the time I got home. I did, however, feel better after taking a scalding shower and parking my keister here.
Now to plan my evening eats, and play with Newtie! Until later, Dear journal.
