What is the name of your state? Tx
Grandson has had a difficult life......Bi-polar Mom..4 younger brothers. My Son-father
Grandson on probation for shoplifting....VOP for truency. Was beat up by group of NewOrleans blacks at school and refused to go back to school. Only one black charged. Came to stay with us in March this year. Enrolled in school ...completed credit recovery classes ..did well.
Went back to court and Judge put teen in our custody.
Mother left husband and family and I made a judgement call and let him go and stay with Dad and help take care of little ones.
You guessed it....got in trouble and charged with bike theft $50 -$500.00. Said he did not steal the bike and did not know the bike was stolen... but bike parts found at his home and he said the kid could work on the bike with his tools. Dad was at home.
When the police came his Dad was frustrated and said "put him in jail" He stayed in detention two days. We went and picked him up after detention hearing. Detention Judge
put him back in our custody. Strict rules ..house arrest.
Back to court....Does not want to plead guilty. Wants trial. Attorney said court wants to put him in custody today. I don't think there will ever be a trial. He will never win. Judge will give him Boot Camp, says attorney. Judge will ultimelty deside.
I cannot believe they will put him in custody over a stolen $20 bike. He deserves a chance in our custody. He does well in our enviorment. I think he will make it if he has a chance in our custody. We are trying to save him and will not return him to his parents. Judge says he will not even be able to go back to old neighborhood.
Sorry for long post...wanted to include as much info as possible.
As lawyers would you advise him to plead guilty and take whatever punshiment the Judge gives him. (my advise) Or take a chance with trial. I don't want to force him to plead guily to something he didn't do......Thanks for any helpWhat is the name of your state?
