Sodomy 3rd Degree in Kentucky

[123dh]

Okay, let's just assume he was charged under this...



Class D Felonies in Kentucky carry...



So he is looking at between 1-5 years.

Which is actually light. There is an entire HOST of other charges he could have been hit with....

Needless to say, he needs to sell everything he owns and get the best lawyer he can find.

He has a public deffender. He doesn't have any money and neither do I.

You ask him!

I have not been able to talk to his Lawyer, because he never returns my phone calls.

The lawyer has no responsibility or obligation to contact you.

The lawyer has one adult client. That person isn't you... right?

YOU!!?? This is not your problem!

I know but he is my baby brother and our Mother just past away 2 months ago. I feel like he doesn't have anyone else.

True. But he hasn't talked to my Brother scense he first went in front of the judge. So I would just like to know what's going on and see if I can be of any help. Plus he was going to have some kind of head doctor come in and talk to him because he is having a hard time dealing with our Mom passing. She died in Oct.

I am truly sorry about your Mother's passing.

However, the only person the attorney will speak with is your brother.

First, the attorney may not have time to return family phone calls, even if he wishes to do so. But more importantly, he could only return your phone call to say, "Sorry, but I can't talk to you." Due to attorney-client privilege, he can't discuss details about the case with you without your brother's permission and, further, without endangering the privilege by discussing the case with third parties.

My brother told me he told his lawyer he could talk to me and if he had any questions to call me. My brother gave him my number.

That does not obligated the Attorney to return your calls

So I should just give up trying to call the Lawyer. And let my brother deal with, right?
