Ok im going to try to sum it up as briefly as i can...

I am sorry to read about the situation about someone who you obviously care about.

I would have the person arrested hire an attorney to defend him. If he cannot afford an attorney, I would personally speak with public defender and get his/her opinion.

Good luck. I am sorry that I am unable to answer your question.

He could be looking at more years in prison. Without getting a complete prior record workup on him, no one can score him, and we basically do not do that for free here. It is much more than general legal advice he needs, and he is not even the one asking.

R. Jason de Groot, Esq. We do not have an attorney-client relationship. I am not your lawyer. The statements I make do not constitute legal advice. Any statements made by me are based upon the limited facts you have presented, and under the premise that you will consult with a local attorney. This is not an attempt to solicit business. This disclaimer is in addition to any disclaimers that this website has made. I am only licensed in Florida.

My money is on Him going away for a loooooooooooong time.

Any prosecutor worth their weight in dog feces will try to enhance him (perhaps as a PERP - a prison release offender) and otherwise to have him launched to the moon. And any judge with an ounce of sense will decide that "he" has absolutely no regard for th law or th rules of society.

He's looking at the statutory max, and if he's found guilty then he'll probably get every minute of it.

I hope that I've been helpful in answering your question.

First, second and third: No attorney-client relationship exists by virtue of any Q&A with Michael A. Haber, Esq. on Avvo. Fourth: Anything that you post on Avvo (or on similar sites) or on any social media is by its nature public. It is essentially an admission / confession and can be introduced into evidence as a statement against your interest in a subsequent legal proceeding. Once posted you lose any reasonable expectation of privacy, so, as this is an open forum (with no privilege attached), please be extra careful when considering what to post online (forewarned is forearmed.)

The felony scoring process requires an attorney to look at all his priors in addition to other factors. With what you've provided he is very likely to score prison time. The best bet he has is to have a good criminal defense attorney who can explain all this to him before he enters a plea or otherwise.

As always, the responses given are based upon the limited information provided in the question and general legal procedure. It is advised that if your situation contains complex issues or facts to consult personally with an attorney for your choosing. In criminal cases where liberty is at stake, a defendant has an absolute right to a court appointed attorney if you cannot afford one.
