If the law is still current and on the statute books then, yes a judge can sentence someone. There are many old laws still in force.
It will depend on what the judge says. If the judge dismisses the case "With Prejudice" it means that the case cannot be brought again. If the judge dismisses the case "Without Prejudice" it means that the case can be brought again and the person could be charged again.
Typically, when a sentence is rendered, the judge will pronounce two sentences: the minimum, and the maximum. In the case of this question, twenty years can be assumed to be the maximum. The minimum determines when the person may be paroled.
It depends on the caseload of the court. Usually a judge likes to see a case from start to finish - but workloads might not allow that to happen.
Yes and no. If the sentencing judge mandated a period of parole, then no one but that judge or one from a higher court can override or modify that sentence. However, being under the supervision of the CDCR or any state's DOC, the period of parole is often under their purview. As an inmate, you are a ward of the state. As such they can determine how you serve your sentence. If your sentence was mandated by judge, and the DOC modifies what the judge ordered, you have the right to judicial review. However, should you choose to do this, your parole could be revoked and the DOC could enforce your entire sentence...incarcerated.
What is done about inmate neglect depends on the type of inmate neglect. "You do the crime, you serve the time." By law, the inmate was informed about the Federal Civil Rights law. He can send a description of his problems to a Federal Judge for free. He can write it out. If the Federal Judge thinks he has a problem, then the Federal Judge will appoint someone to investigate. Oh, so your friend was not paying any attention when they told him that? So your friend refuses to follow established procedures? No wonder he is in the clink!
If a defendant or inmate has served a signficant amount of time awaiting trial, or during trial, the judge has the option of applying that time to the defendants sentence. However, it is not mandatory that he do so.
For how ever long he was sentenced to by the Judge in Illinois.
The judge was talking to Mr. Hoo's wife, Mrs. Hoo, when he brought the appetizers.
The jail or prison administration must actually have the judge's signed order in their possession in order to act on it. But, yes, if it can be proven that they have it, and they are willfully and knowingly refusing to carry it out, a suit could be brought. Just a simple paperwork, or administrative SNAFU would likely not qualify as contempt.
Sure! Here is an example sentence using the word "judge": "It is not fair to judge someone based on their appearance alone."
An inmate can be held without bond until they are sentenced then in fact they will began their sentence. An inmate can however go to a bond hearing where a judge may or may not set a bond or bail. If the judge feels the person is not ready to be let back in society due to their crime they will deny bond. If the judge feels the indivual is not a threat to the community or a victim they will set a bail. Usually the bail will be high if the crime is serious.
