My question involves criminal law for the state of: california. I am looking for awnsers.. anything at this point is appreciated. In 2000, a close friend of mine was unjustly sentenced as a sex offender. For the last 8 years he has on his birthday annually registered w/ the local authorities. He has continued with working fulltime and going to college.All the while buiding his case for a certificate for rehabilitation.
But september 19th, 2008 that all changed when he was arrested at his worksite for non compliance of registering. He was 6 days late. He is now out on bail and wanting to know if any documentation that supports there were [I]contributing factors [/I]that delayed him to register on time, can make a difference. He does have letters from both his boss and supervisor. he was released the same day he was taken in and followed through with going to the police dept. to register for 08. His next hearing is 10/28/08.
