What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Alabama
Hi, all. I have a friend of mine who's really worried about what he will be sentenced to come his court date sometime this year. See, this is his first time EVER getting in trouble with the law. He was arrested back in May. He has a 2nd degree domestic violence charge on him (for hitting his stepfather with a baseball bat). His stepfather will NOT press charges against him and even will speak on his behalf in court. His stepfather didn't even go to the hospital. It was just a small family fight that just happened during the spur of the moment. Despite all that, my friend thinks that he will be sentenced to life in prison or even the death penalty when I'm trying to convince him that he will just get either probation or community service (and NO MORE JAIL TIME). He is extremely depressed over the matter and can't stop crying (and is contemplating suicide). Please prove him wrong and prove me right and let me know what kind of sentence he will receive. Thanks.
