Parole, Probation My fiancé got extradited. What can we expect?

[Houstons456]

His original charge was burglary of habitation that he committed when he was 17. He was gone for just over two years and left because of bad influences. During that time, no new charges or arrests were picked up, he attended a drug rehab program on his own accord (with documented proof), was an active member of AA, has maintained full time employment the entire time he absconded, paid taxes and child support, and other than leaving the state and not reporting, he did not try to hide from the law (he got an Oregon driver license under his real name and social security number, car insurance under his name, entered an apartment lease agreement under his name, contacted the local child support office and made regular payments, etc). He just paid off $6000 of restitution, but did not report or complete his community service.

He can likely expect to serve the jail sentence for the charge.

If you/he thinks he gets brownie points for just not continuing to commit crimes during the time he was a fugitive, think again. Neither will being or needing rehab, or supporting his own child. Not doing drugs and supporting your children is the bare minimum that is expected of a person.

Jail is pretty much a given.

You're very wise. Yes, the main reason this happened to him is he ABSCONDED.
That's what is considered an AFFRONT to the law, the court, as well as against the peace and dignity of the people of the Republic of Texas.

All he and you can do is see if being a good lad will cut any weight with the judge who sentenced the lad.

A lot of the good stuff he did isn't really going to help much if at all - it is expected that a person would do that. He might want to talk to a lawyer & see what he/she might be able to do for him.
