    Default California Prison Sentence Reduction

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: CALiFORNIA

    My Husband accepted a plea bargain of state prison for 5 years for attempted murder on me? It was actually an escalated DV case, which he was heavily intoxicated at the time. He had a few prior DV cases, which were mistamenders, and had not completed any of his programs. The judge turned down letting him go into a recovery home, because it was not his first offense. I did not want to press charges on my husband. There has been a restarining order, so I have not been allowed to visit him. I do not want the restraing order. Can I get it removed? He has been in county jail for one year now, and will finish his sentence in prison. Is there any way I can appeal this, or get a sentence reduction for the amount of time he must serve? How much time will he serve for a violent crime? Are there any programs in prison that he can do that would reduce his entence time? Thank you.

    No there is nothing you can do. However you can start seeing a therapist over you even wanting to see a man convicted of trying to murder you!

    I ... I am dumbfounded.

    Madam, YOU are the very person that the DV laws were crafted to protect. You are the poster child for DV.

    When he DOES get out, I expect there will be a criminal protective order preventing any contact with you ... in fact, I would not be at all surpsied if such an order is currently in place and he is violating it by communicating with you!

    PLEASE! Get come counseling so you can move on with YOUR life, and seek someone who is positive for you.

    So have you been in contact with him in the last year he's been in jail? You obviously aren't able to move on. I urge you to get some help.
