My question involves criminal law for the state of: California. My 22 year old brother was recently booked for felony domestic violence. It's in LA County and his court date is on Wednesday. He's never done anything like this and has a clean record. He works for the postal service for goodness sake. The assault was on both ends and I believe his ex girlfriend has slight bruising to her neck. I would like to know how slim his chances are for no time spent in jail, please help. I'm really worried.
