The national standard is 20yrs, with the possibility of parole in 10yrs... if he stays out of trouble in prison he most likely will serve no more than 8yrs in a medium security prison...

You have to post bail, if it applies to him...\nYou have to find out what are the charges first, and work from there... hope you can resolve it soon

There is a wonderful support and information group at http://prisontalk.com\nSomeone there will have your answer.\nI've got a "someone special" locked up, too, and this group has helped me a great deal.

Depends on where you are.  Each state has different procedures.  And cannot say what the fine, prison etc. is without knowing what state and what he is charged with. (or how bad your dad was injured)\n\nBUT, it will mostly depend upon the guy.  If he is charged with the assault, the guy will have to go into court and plea. If he pleads guilty he will be sentenced (probably probation) and your dad won't have to do anything.\n\nIf he pleads not guilty then the case will go to trial and your dad will have to go into court to testify in the case.\n\n(edit - if there was a threat, hopefully the prosecutor will see it in the context you were in. If you are charged, hire an attorney, or if you cannot afford one, the court can appoint one to help you (and then charge a nominal fee after).  I wouldn't worry about it until I heard from the proscuting office - you can call them if you like to find out.)

absolutely the most ridiculous instance of police abuse/brutality that i can recall in many years.....i am appalled...i sent this link to my dad as he and i discuss these issues daily and he says believe it or not it happens everyday all over.....just so happens someone caught this...i cannot believe they expected that guy to just get up...i wonder how easy it would have been for them to get up after being tazed...and to threaten him with tazing again? OUTRAGEOUS!...he was obviously incapacitated if he couldnt even get up so where was the threat to them that would have caused them to do it again!?!...i'd have probably been still puking my guts up too much to get off my knees!...can you say lawsuit?...i hope they get what they deserve...this was totally senseless....thank you for opening my eyes today

I'm not familiar with that ruling.  Post a link to the ruling and I'll have a look.\n\nOn the surface, it sounds pretty ominous.  But if they have a warrant and there is likelihood of the destruction of evidence with even minimal notice (think drugs going down the toilet) then I'm not all that bothered by it.\n\nOn balance, they DO take a risk of my Mauser going off if they crash through the door without any warning.  \n\n"Your honor, I had just finished cleaning my shotgun and reloaded it and was getting up to put it back in the gun locker when all of a sudden, three guys in black outfits came crashing through my front door! They didn't say that they were police or show any badges, and were armed to the teeth!  I fired as a reflex action, in self-defense!"\n\n"Sounds reasonable, Not Guilty!"\n\nNo-knock raids are extremely risky for all concerned.  Back in November 2002, Lewis Cauthorne was in the basement of his Baltimore home when heard the screams of his mother, girlfriend, and three-year-old daughter. Baltimore police were conducting a no-knock raid on his home, based on a tip from a single, anonymous informant. Police never announced themselves, and raided in street clothes. Cauthorne emerged from the basement with a handgun, shooting and wounding four of the invading police officers. Cops returned fire. Fortunately, no one was killed in the crossfire. \n\nCauthorne spent the next seven weeks in jail. Finally, in January of 2003, prosecutors dropped the charges against him, concluding that Cauthorne had reason to believe his life was in danger. Damn right, he did.

well yeah you can go through his chain of command. or on base it would be the mp.'s but they will just take him for the 72 hour cool down period in the barracks and he'll probably be mad when he comes home. or off base call local police.  then theres restraining orders.  but if he has a fukked up chain of command he'll get away with everything he does  like my ex husband.his whole chain of command lied for him and stuck up for him in court for the domestic violence incidents and hell now hes getting away with murder.

It depends on the prosecution, the family's intentions to file charges, the states. I would say the minimum would be manslaughter and maximum murder. Does he have prior alcohol related accidents or fines-that will be a big factor in his history, or any other driving or drug offenses. I'm sorry for both your families.

Yes he could be charged.  Everyone could have just walked away, so self-defense is not an issue.  Why did the guy faint after being slapped was he old?

There may be an on going investigation that you are not aware of.  Please speak to the policeman that you gave the report to and ask for an update.  Sometimes what we think is a done deal, is not enough for our courts to hang someone with.  I'm glad you had the courage and fortitude to do something about it.  Good for you!

he needs to be reported. there are people out there who cant afford for this to happen to. well observed and i hope the robdogging git gets caught and punished. because he is either lining the shops pockets or HIS OWN

There's no way anyone here could know the answer to that question unless we work at the jail. I suggest you call the jail and they will be happy to tell you if he is there and what the charges are. Here's the info you need:\n\nhttp://www.buncombecounty.org/governing/depts/Sheriff/detention.htm

I was going to answer this but the first respondent took the words right out of my mouth. If he has the audacity to hit you, please have him arrested immediately. If you have family, let them know you are living in fear and need help. Best wishes.

File for a restraining order, or:\n\nTalk to the law authorities that were involved in your uncle's arrest and sentencing. Tell them how you feel about him being released, and ask if there is something they can do to intervene. Not in the sense of keeping him locked up (rulings are official and final), but in creating a legal "barrier" (other than a restraining order) between your family and your uncle. If his crimes were heinous enough (they sound that way), then there may be something more the police can do. Plans like this are often made especially for people / families who are victims of a stalker if and when their stalker is released from prison.

with out the year,day,etc..how was it ruled ? with out that info it's hard to tell. if it was closed it would be archived at the police station. if its not closed or still open or sent to a cold case team. you wont find out a thing.with it being your cousin you don't have much rights to any info only his mother,father, wife or kids would. just ask your aunt or uncle about the info to this case or have them check up it if it's a cold case.

I was convicted for possesing drugs, I was sent to prison for 14 months, while I was in there, there was a guy who  assaulted his girlfriend, then drove around drunk with his 8 month old baby in the car. He was only sentenced to 6 months. It was so sad cause I got there 2 months before he did, and he was set free before I got out. Keep in mind that this was my first offense of any kind, (except traffic tickets). This is just one case, I could tell you a whole bunch of other cases that were Obviously worse than mine, and they got less time than I did....there is no such thing as justice in America!
