My son has been sentenced to 10 years for fourth offense dwi in Louisiana. The law says he can be sentenced from 10 to 30 years but all but 2 years can be suspended. The judge did not suspend anytime at all. I have written to the judge several times in order to show no accident or injury and extenuating circumstances. Recently, I received a letter from the District Attorney's office noting that Code of Criminal Procedure Article 881 does not allow a judge to amend or change a sentence once my son began serving his sentence. I don't know if that is true. Is it? And if so, is there a rule that I can counter with that would allow a judge to suspend some of this sentence?Thanks! <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
My response:
Hmmm. Let's see - - - - fourth offense and he's got the maximum sentence, hmmmm. Let me see. NO !! Why? So your idiot of a son can get out and kill someone? For himself and society, he's better off right where he is. Obviously your low-life son has never learned his lesson. Now he'll have a few DECADES to think it over. Why should we assist YOU to help HIM get out and kill a child, an adult, a woman, a family, etc.??
I'm right there with the judge.
