It depends upon the crime he has been charged with. The courts are not compelled to release people they believe to be a danger to society or a flight risk, however they can't hold them without cause either. His lawyer should be filing a Writ of Habeus Corpus if there is some question.

Oh man.  A bummer of a situation. First, does your Dad have the money to get it out of impoundment? Just because he's imprisoned doesn't make he has no cash.\n\nThat's a rough one man. I came close to that when I loaned my car to a new roommate years back. I didn't know that he was a sloppy drunk and nearly totaled my car. Good luck to you.

If that is really what the DA said then yes he is lying.  You are entirely entitled to view all the evidence that the People have against you, whether you have a lawyer or not.\n\nAs for the timing issue, it is not uncommon for defendants to not be given their discovery until after the arraignment.  Remember, the arraignment is simply the time when you enter a plea.  You don't need all the information at that point in time.  But you are entitled to all of the information before trial.

Same thing happened to me. My friend did a year in Federal prison for nothing. Get ready to learn how our justice system really works and remember it the next time someone tells you how we have the greatest government in the world.

He's CRAZY you cant expect him to be logical.  Hes in jail and cant do anything about it, but still has the right to be upset you did something you didnt want him to do.  Get the rest of the $$ and be more responsible next time.

There was a man here in Texas that spent 14 years on death row for rape and murder of a teenage girl at a volleyball tournament. He was released after 14 years for wrongful conviction. I don't think that the state paid anything to him for those 14 years. In fact, after they released him, they picked him up again for failure to pay child support while he was in the state penitentiary. His family spent everything that they had for appeals and finally there were a couple of attorneys who donated their time to his cause.

The "he's a liar" chick above me is an idiot. SHE'S not too judgemental, huh? Hehe. Of course everyone in jail is the DEVIL! (I'm being sarcastic). \n\nJail makes you think about things that you would normally take for granted: ie; your freedom, your hobbies, the people you love, and so on. I have a feeling he's never wanted to admit he loves you, because that usually overcomplicates things to an unnecessary extent. But now that he's incarcerated, he's had time to understand what life is like without you, and time to reflect on how important your relationship really is. As a result, he's finally come to the conclusion that he does love you, and he wants you to know it in case you two should ever be permanentley separated for some god-forsaken reason. I've been in his shoes before.\n\nOh yeah, and the guy who said "look to see if his pupils expand" is also on his own planet. Where the hell did THAT come from? Look, if his pupils expand, he's on acid. If they don't, he's not. And that's that.

Let's wait to see if anyone's convicted before we start judging.  From what we have heard in the news media there are too many holes that need filled in.  \n\nIf someone is convicted hang 'em but let us extend the same courtesy that we would like to have if we were accused of a crime

Ouch, sorry to hear that because you are going to get served with some pretty bad consequences.  Are you an illegal immigrant or an American citizen/legal immigrant that brought them over?  If you are the former you will probably just be deported.  If you are the latter you are probably going to jail.

Why not? America has all the money in the world. Everybody should be tried for one reason or another.\n\nAt least we will be busy.

The imprisonment is about 6 months to 12 years depending upon the evidence presented and the defense adopted by your friend's husband.  The crime commited is already a grave offense because it involves fraud.

I am 35 years old. I've spent about 91 months of my life in prison. I am now a hard working, tax paying, law ABIDING citizen. I never thought anybody owed me anything. Telling your husband you want a divorce while he's in prison is a hard thing for a man to take. I don't know if you have ever been in prison or not but when your there NOTHING changes but the faces. Same food, clothes you can probably figure the rest out. So if a person who is incarcerated is LUCKY enough to have another person care about him means more than you could ever know. When we lose those things like that while locked up, it can drive a man insane. Being on the inside are hands are completely tied. We can't come see you, comfort you and do what we should of been doing in the first place, being at home with the ones we love instead of out commiting crimes. I am not in any way defending convicts even though I am one. If your husband can not change his ways I agree you should be free from that lifestyle cause it's not a pretty place. IF he can change......??????  He still is your husband and like they ( whoever they are) say "for better or WORSE." You both made big commitments by getting married. If he can't fufill his commitment by being there as a good husband that's his loss. Does he deserve another chance if he can straighten out?????? I went to prison for a meth lab, 6 firearms and about 5 pounds of weed. I ran with a rough crowd. I've been shot and I've shot another human being ( for this I will never forgive myself) HOWEVER,,, I'm leading a good life now, we CAN change. I hope this helped.

What a jerk he is. I doubt you will be kept from entering Legally if he did something wrong. Also...dont be Jaded (no pun intended) by him...there are many many wonderful american men left to have.

This depends entirely on the policies of your state.  Right now, with the four year sentence, he should be eligible for some kind of early release program such as parole unless he is serving mandatory time or unless he messes up in prison.  If he ends up facing six years mandatory, well, that's going to be six years.  Your boyfriend should have access to a case manager who can tell him how much time he has left to do.

Kenny Ley did, and he is still spending stockholders money with bail money posted waiting on an appeal..... They already found him guilty of stealing, why are they allowing to spend more of the money before he goes to prison..... It should all be seized...check this link out about the figures....
