What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state?I'm in TX.
My 24 year old son was on a drug induced rage that ended up with him pointing a loaded shotgun at me. He was screaming at me, pumped the gun and took 2 steps towards me... pushing me to the ground. He's in jail now with the charge of Aggravated Assault w/Deadly Weapon. Of course he believes its all my fault and he still denies that he has a drug problem.
Since he's mad at me, for not getting him out of jail, we have no idea what is going on with him. How can I find out any info on him?
Should I expect to see him out of jail soon or will he stay there until his court date? Since I'm the victim, will the DA contact me to see if I want to testify when he goes to court or if he goes in front of the judge?
The police officer that took my victim statement said I could withdraw it at any time. If I do, how would I do this and would he get out of jail immediately with all of the charges dropped? Another police officer that was present that night said if I withdrew my statement, he'd "make them stick". Can he really do this?
This is his first time in trouble as an adult, however, he does have a significant juvenile record. In TX what kind of punishment can he expect to get? When he was arrested, he called and stated that the police officer told him he was going to prison this time because of an assault charge back in 93. I know he had some assault arrests but I don't remember any CONVICTION. He would have been 12 years old.
Lost here... please help! Any advice is greatly appreciated.
