Depends on the specifics concerning the conviction. Some crimes have a mandatory sentencing period, some do not. In some cases, if you reach a plea bargain before you're convicted, you may be able to plead it down to a lesser charge.
It depends on the charge and the conviction record of the convicted person. Then it is determined by the sentencing guidelines of the state in which the case is tried.
"As you know, Victoria Ashley will be facing sentencing.." Is an example of sample letter to the judge before sentencing.
arrest - preliminary hearing - indictment - pre-trial hearing(s) - trial - sentencing.
If a person is convicted of multiple offenses, upon conviction there will be a record of a penalty being handed down for each crime.
Depends greatly on the nature of the appeal. If the court throws the entire conviction out, it can be expunged. However, if it is appealed for sentencing or some other similar item, the conviction will not go away.
Bail in prison is nonexistent. Once a person is convicted and goes to Prison they cannot be "bailed" out. They must serve their time. Only inmates in a County Jail Facility can possibly be "bailed" out before conviction and sentencing takes place.
If you are convicted of a crime your time on the streets does not count because you were not in jail. Your term "back up time" is not a familiar one. If you mean your jail time before your conviction, you did not receive credit for that because you did not ask for that. Your jailer or Department of Corrections can not give you credit for that, only your sentencing judge. If he left it off your sentencing papers, there is a way to get it put on them. It is called post conviction relief. You will need to look into it. You will need to get a copy of your sentencing papers and see just what they say. If you did not get credit for jail time, you will need to request it.
Yes he is still in Prison. Chris Reid AKA Jack Venice speaks out against his "wrongful" conviction and sentencing on youtube.
An "admonishment" is a warning. GENERALLY it would not count as a conviction HOWEVER, you could have been convicted by the judge and at sentencing been 'admonished' not commit any further offenses. To be certain, request a copy of your own record just to make sure.
Yes, it is possible to request a continuance for a sentencing date. The request will need to be made to the court and should provide a valid reason for needing the extension, such as unforeseen circumstances or the need for more time to prepare. The judge will ultimately decide whether to grant the continuance.
A driving under the influence apology letter can be read to the court during sentencing. The letter should be submitted to the judge before the sentencing.
