Having pleaded guilty on the offense charged on her will then continue with the sentencing process without having going through full trial process. Therefore, her mother would have to expect a sentence read by the court. Maybe there will be a mitigation session for the lawyer to ask for lighter sentence based on certain reasons.
There is rule when a person is charged for an offense, he or she is deemed to have responsible for that particular account only as long as the offenses are mentioned in one case. If a person is charged and the fact that the other convicted charged was brought into picture, it will be called a double jeopardy since a person will not be charged for twice for an offense.
However, it shall be remembered that the previous conviction is taken into account when judges give sentencing to a regular offender as the punishment is given with the main purpose of deterence.

It depends what charge was pleaded as guilty . Different states have different mandatory minimums. Robbery carries a different minimum than armed robbery in many states.
Eg. Armed Robbery in GA carries a mandatory minimum of 5 years in the state penetentiary without parole.

Sorry to tell you, but it sounds like trouble. If she was already on probation and violated the terms (which it sounds like she did) it is possible she will be taken in to custody right there, on the spot, unless other arrangements are made beforehand. Not a bad idea to get an attorney immediately, who should ask for a continuance so he can get his case prepared.

way too previous due for bail. If he's sentenced below federal costs then he won't be out for 20 years. If he have been given sentenced below state rules it is likewise possible to work out him everywhere between 5-15 years reckoning on how your state addresses sturdy habit and over crowdedness. the undeniable fact that he's merely 21 years old is what he could desire to have been thinking approximately till now he went out and began robbing those with a weapon.
