What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Virginia
My first underage possession of alcohol charge was back in march. Punishment was probation under CCP and fifty hours of community service. As part of CCP, I had to complete a substance abuse class and go to NA.
Now my second charge was on May 25th, same offense. The court date kept getting set back so I wasn't in front of a judge until September 28th. This time the judge gave me a $500 fine, a 10 day jail sentence on weekends with 170 days suspended, one year suspended license, and 36 months of unsupervised probation under ASAP.
My public attorney told me that day that if I appealed that I could most likely get the jail time dropped. Also if i appleaded, would it be a wise choice to point out to the judge that the punishment process from the first offense didn't start 'til june/july?
So just wondering basically if it would be smart to appeal, or just suck it up and serve time.
