My mother is currently being held in a Alabama jail house. earlier today her and my sister got into a argument (my sister came home at 5 in the morning,)and my mother ht her with a cord. whelps were left on my sister. my mother is being held for twelve hours today. her charge is domestic violence 2nd degree, THIS IS HER 1ST OFFENSE. im only 17 & i desperately want to know hat she is facing. could the charges possibly be reduced.
we've been in contact with a friend that works in the sheriffs office & he says she may only receive anger management classes, pay a fine, and maybe probation. she may have the option to plead to a lesser charge. this is the first time anything like this has happened. my mother is a teacher and may lose her job( this is a felony charge) my sister no longer wants to press charges but the police department says there isn't anything she can do. how long before this case will go to trial(if it goes that far. PLEASE HELP, I DONT KNWO WHAT ELSE TO DO.
