My boyfriend was arrested on Oct 2nd. The charges were bogus, basically lies. After the person testified to it, the grand jury no-billed it which means all charges dropped. Now...back in Sept 06, he was sentenced to 6 months but only did 4 and was released in Jan 07. Leavin him with 2 months, but got on 2 years parole instead. So when he was arrested Oct 2nd, this county put a hold on him. Now that these charges have been dropped, he is there and going to go in front of a judge this coming week. Since there was technically no parole violation, do you think a judge will actually hold him for nothing or worse, make him serve that last 2 months? He just did 44 days for NOTHING so perhaps they will give him credit for time served? Any information would help me, im not use to this and dont know the system! Please no bad comments!! Thanks!

IF CHARGES WERE DROPPED, THEN HE HAS NO VALID HOLD ON HIM AND THE JUDGE SHOULD BE AWARE OF THIS. HE IS GOING TO BE HELD TO ANSWER TO AND THAT IS WHAT YOU DO KEEP A COPY AND BRING TO COURT ALL THE FILE OF THE CASE SO IT WILL SHOW A NO BILL. THE GRAND JURY MAY HAVE NO BILLED BECAUSE OF THE FACT HE WAS DOWN ON A P/O HOLD?? HE HAS DONE 44 DAYS AND SHOULD BE GIVEN CREDIT FOR TIME SERVED.ASK FOR A RELEASE UNDER THE CONDITION THAT HE WAS PICKED UP FOR A BOGUS CHARGE. ALSO FILE A CHARGE AGAINST THE PERSON WHO FILED ON HIM FOR FILING A FALSE STATEMENT.

If the charges were dropped then he should be released because no crime was committed. The exception to this is if he was out past curfew or somewhere he wasn't supposed to be or something along those lines that would be a violation. Even though he didn't commit a crime, when he was arrested maybe he was somewhere or with someone he wasn't supposed to be and even though there is no crime, there was a parole violation. However, if what I just said is not true and there was no new crime and no parole violation, I don't see what they could possibly hold him on. As long as there is not something else he isn't telling you, he should be released.

Firstly, never take legal advice from a message board. If he has a public defender or his own lawyer he should ask him/her the questions you've posed. And whether he should move that any related charges be vacated
As the previous poster has implied, often it is better for one to serve the full time and then not be answerable to a PO, but that is an alternative he should discuss with counsel. If there was alledged violence involved then there may be other legal factors in play, and little sympathy from the legal system or the public.
good luck...tell you're boyfriend to keep his nose clean in the mean time...;-)

i do not.... reason being: States tell human beings they could't kill..... yet yet the states turn round and kill by ability of capital punishment.. that is being hypocritical.. also, in a "functioning, democratic society" how can we positioned human beings on lack of existence row, after all of us understand faster or later an danger free human being is going to be finished??? Now granted that would not take position commonly, yet my suggested wager is that its has happened. The criminal Justice gadget isn't and not will be perfect...... i do not imagine it really is perfect for individuals to homicide different human beings yet unfortuately it occurs notwithstanding the justification might want to correctly be. My perfect pal changed into murdered and that i nevertheless do not trust in capital punishment- some different person lack of life received't deliver my pal decrease back. there is not any justice at the same time as someone is murdered. existence in detention center is more lower priced besides... lack of existence sentence appeals take a minimum of seven-8 years (or longer relying on the state) to get through the courts. by ability of the time tax payers pay for courtroom expenditures, faxes, criminal professional expenditures, paralegals, etc, its less severe priced to enable killers rot in a cellular.....

Don't you think it would be easier on him to do the remaining 2 months and avoid the parole?

Credit for time served is my best guess.
