    Default Jail Time

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Tennessee

    Ok, well i just received my 2nd domestic against my mother. I do love her, but sometimes when she argues I lose it enough to get this charge. Its not very often, 5 years between offenses. Her whole thing was she DIDNT want me to go to jail but I had to due to the 12 hour cooldown. Now when I go to court, she doesnt want me to go to jail. So in a shell, she wants to know if theres anyway to help avoid me being charged jailtime.

    Not her call

    A DV offender with a DV record. . . probably damned few
    options other than confinement

    Now when I go to court, she doesnt want me to go to jail
    As you probably know, what she wants and what the DA wants
    can be an entirely different matter

    Your attorney can see what alternatives to sentancing the
    DA has to offer

    I wouldn't get my hopes up as this being your second time

    Not to mention second time with the same person as victim.

    Plan on a restraining order against you lasting at least a year... but that won't really start until you get out.
