after the incident i did not coperiate with the DA becuase he was making all kinds of threats, & I thought that since he has the best lawyer in town and owns so many biz's & some cop friends, i was not going to testify or do anything. even though he knew i was not going to do nothing, he still did not stop threating, calling my Friends threating them & all kinds of BS, so I decided that enough was enough, i bought a recorder, taped all the threats, he called my friend & she also taped him. there was a stay away OOP, he broke it, the judge warned him, he broke agian by calling me restricted everyday & day i had apt with da, he called & i put him on speaker, so they charged him with another felony for breaking oop, he still had the nerve to call again restricted saying that he has the best lawyer & nothing will happen to him! first i have no proof that he called again cuz calls are restricted? can he get away with this, & not get any jail time & if he pleas to an e felony e, wat happens

The only person who could answer your question would be the DA. The penalty could be incarceration, or felony probation, or possibly both. No matter what the DA suggests, the final decision will be up to the Judge.

It's a bit hard to understand everything you're saying, because of the large number of pronouns. The "he"s become a bit confusing. If I've got you right, then I gather that your husband had a lot of clout in your town, has a slick and possibly unscrupulous lawyer. I also gather that he has violent temper and is and feels entitled to whatever he wants. These things make him a formidable opponent.
First things first. You need to cooperate with the DA.
If you do not, a plea agreement is probably the best the DA's office can do for you. If you want him behind bars you are going to have to tell the DA everything and fight with him against your husband for justice.
Obviously you are fearful of what your husband might do.
You may need to get some sort of help and protection until this is over and he is safely behind bars.
But if you let your fear rule you then you are going to be stuck with whatever the lawyers come up with.

Yes he can still get jail time, but that doesn't mean that he will. You can subscribe to a special type of call tracing that once someone who has been harassing you calls, you push the * and whatever number it is and it should to directly to the police department. I believe that they should still be able to get the number even if it is blocked. It seems like he has been intimidating you in an attempt to get you to stop from pressing charges or something. What you need to understand is that this person is a very large threat to you and your safety and he probably won't stop. What I would recommend is that you contact a domestic violence office in your area and get help from them. While all of this seems scary and intimidating to you, they have seen it all before and can be a great help to you. They should be able to point you in the right direction and they are wonderful people to have on your side. Good luck to you and stay safe.

You need to get a lawyer yourself.
Many of them will take your case on a contingency basis, meaning they only get paid if you win.
You need to do something ASAP though if there is already a plea in the works.
Without a lawyer you are probably just gooing to be a victimn once again. It sounds like you have enough witnesses to support your case, and with the physical damages he infilcted on you some laywer would probably jump at the chance to take your case.
You need a lawyer fast in any event. Their advice is free. Call someone today.
Don't be intimidated by his 'best lawyer'. Even the best lawyer won't win every case.

Have him lie and plead innocent that he did not do the act like the rest of the convicts... Go in prison and not one of comvicts is guilty--- they all say there lawyer screwed them...
Plead innocent and no plea bargain -- they just want an easy conviction under the DA belt...
Plea bargain -- the JUDGE is not involved in the plea bargain and does not have to abide by the rules of the DA or defending attornies choice of sentence...
Felony is a felony no mater how the pie is sliced....

If he broke any protective order his crack should have went to jail the first time. Keep recording the calls and take them to court, it won't matter how good his lawyer is. Give him enough rope and he will hang himself when it comes court time. Sounds like he's trying to bully you so you won't testify against him. I hope you pound his a** in court. Good luck.

a plea bargain can mean time served for what he did they offer this to people that have never done a crime so its up to the judge he will probably get probation and time served. if he contacts you while hes on probation and you have proof he wrote himself a free ticket to some prison time .

Felony = one year in jail.
Misdemeanor = less than one year in jail.
If you want useful answers to your concerns you need to speak to the DA's office.
