Yep. As I mentioned, there is no way he's getting that much prison time for a first time DV. It would have to have been damn near attempted murder, or, he has a very extensive criminal history if he's facing 20 years. And, if he has that kind of history, I would not be surprised if the state did do a full court press - even against the victim - to try and get such a violent predator put away.
In CA, NO ONE gets 20 years in prison absent an extensive and violent criminal history! Though, after Prop 57 last year, that 20 years may actually work out to 7.![]()
