Ma'am,
with all due respect towards you, and sympathy towards your son. I can tell you from first hand experience.
He "IS" going for no less than 90 days. If the Probation office desires they can have him do their violation time "concurrently" or "consecutivly".
The first means that he is doing time for both offenses at once,the latter means he will do the sentence on one charge,then do the time on the other ,when the first is completed.
If this time extends to more than 1 year 364 days....he is going up to state. Less time he will do county time,or do state time as a felon, but do it in a county jail. This what we called "carrying a number"(a state number).
I would be more than happy to explain this to you in person (it will m.ake more sense) Feel free to call me....(717)730-9867....I live near Harrisburg.
There are a lot of in's, and out's of PA law.....but they are all set up so that you lose.(Ask me!!)
Gimme a call,and I'll do my best to make this all make sense for you.....it is very complicated in this state.......which is why we have so many people in prison in this state compared to any other place on the planet.
Food for thought..........we have the ENTIRE city of Philadelphia behind bars. 58% are for minor drug charges,8% for murder or major crime,20% for probation/parol violations,2% for sex crimes,and 10% miscelaneous/other. Two percent fall into the "unknown" catagory . Please....gimme a call,and I will do my best to tell you what is going to happen.
It SUCKS,.....it is WRONG...but the voters of Pa did it. They voted to enforce laws that they did not understand......untill it affects them in person....ask Sen. Thomas Druce.
Of course he is rich,and can afford lawyers up the ass,he killed a man,and has not done ONE day for it.....he is confirmed GUILTY....he ADMITTED guilt,he has yet to go to prison....he has the money to appeal.
