My son's lawyer wants him to take a plea bargain with a presumpted 3 1/2 years in prison all of a sudden and said he has until the end of the week to decide. court isn't scheduled until mid October. The lawyer told us months ago that my son would not only have to serve no time, but that he would probably not get the felony on his record. Note: I have been making payments every week or two until the past month because of a recent injury causing me to miss work.
