    Thumbs up Plea Agreement for DV

    Hey all, first I would like to thank those of you who have helped me through this.
    I am in Illinois and the Assistant States Attorney called me last week and let me know that my EX Abuser (finally I have stayed away and in counseling) is being offered 2 years prison time!! YEY! The question I have is what happens if he does not take this offer? If we do end up in a trial could he serve a longer term? Friends of mine are saying that he could serve longer if he does not take this. The States Attorneys office has been absolutely wonderful and I just hate to bother them for every question I have. Thanks in advance to all!!

    Then it most likely will go to trial.

    The jail time he could have received was 3 to 7 years. So if convicted, it would be more than 2 years.

    I'm glad to hear you are going to counseling! It appears you know a lot more about domestic abuse and are not going to continue to let someone treat you that way.

    Good luck
