Will my husband who is now in jail and is being sentenced on thrusday Jan. 11, 2007 at 9:30 Am be re	abusedandbattered	01/06/07
I need to ask a question concerning my husbands sentencing on Jan..11,2007 on Thurdays AM....He has a record of terroristic threats, abusing me, over and over again, a police stand off with intent to shoot any officer he saw come to the door, violation of a protection of abuse order I have out on him, kicking a State Trooper in the groin. He has been in Jailsince March 28th and thought he would get released after the judge gave him 6 months. Well he is still in because his bail was revoked and his sentencing as I said, is for ALL of the above and his background of assaults and threats with guns...Do you or anyone think that the Jugde will be stupid enough to release him? or do you think he will serve more time? Please help me.....Thank you!!

First of all, you don't have bail when you are sentenced. Bail is for those awaiting pending litigation. Unless he was awaiting action on more charges he would just be released by the jail. Once a judge sentences someone he can't change that sentence. An inmate can appeal and win a modification of the sentence but it sounds like your husband is in the county jail. Those cases aren't appealed, the appeal takes longer than the time served. Is he facing more litigation for the other charges? That would clarify things a lot. There is no way he received 6 months for all those crimes considering the nature of the crimes.
