My question involves criminal law for the state of: Florida
Here's the deal: My sister-in-law's husband was arrested yesterday for driving on a suspended license. This is his 3rd offense. From what I can understand while *trying* to read the FL statute (322.34), he will most likely be "habitualized" and need to serve prison time under the new sentencing guidelines.
When he was first arrested they told him he'd have to post $100 bail, then after processing him found the detainer for.....Sex Offender Probation (L&L w/15 year old girl). I know that it's up to the P.O. as to whether or not to violate him, but I'm assuming that he will most likely be violated.
So, putting these 2 tidbits together, I can only assume that he will likely be headed back to the chain gang.
So, can any of you experts give me any information about how long you think he'll be serving? He has been on community supervision since 2006, and scheduled for release from supervision in 2011. So, wouldn't he need to serve out the remaining 5 years of the sentence?
Much thanks.
She's understandably freaking out, and I'd like to give her the hard truth in the hopes that she'll finally leave him, but I'd like to at least look like I have some idea of what I'm talking about before doing so.
They have $0.00 for a lawyer, and so he will be stuck with a P.D.
