    Default Domestic Violence Repeat Offender

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Alabama

    My daughters boyfriend beat her in the face and leg causing severe bruising, bleeding and swelling. She signed a warrant and he was arrested and bailed out. The charge is listed as Domestic Violence 3rd (Assault 3rd). We have found out that this is his 8th arrest (convicted for the prior 7) for the same charge in the past 6 years. Other previous charges include Criminal Trespassing 3rd and 1st. All previous convictions were in 2007 or before. He pled guilty the first 6 times and received anger management and a small fine. The 7th time he pled not guilty and was found guilty at trial and served 60 days. The last guilty conviction was in 2007. When he was arrested this time, he was released on bail. His bail was $1350. During his 7th conviction he lost his Second Amendment rights too.
    Here are my questions:
    1) She has received a subpoena to appear at the arraignment. Why? She thought she wouldn't have to appear unless it went to trial.
    2) For an 8th conviction, what are the possible outcomes? Is it possible he could walk out of the court with a fine and more anger management classes?

    1. She should ask the prosecutor.

    2. You can download sentencing worksheets here and, based upon the information available to you, attempt to estimate the sentence recommended for an offender with his history under the given facts.
