So, my fiancé was arrested and charged with possession of marijuana. It was a small amount; small enough that the arresting officers would've let him go and made him pay a fine, but he was on parole. His parole officer found out about the arrest and put a detainer on him. I met with my fiancé's parole offericer's supervisor a few weeks after my fiancé's arrest to pick up his cellphone and few other of his belongings, where I was given the opportunity to speak one-on-one with the supervisor. Then supervisor told me they weren't going to fight to keep him in there, but that they were going to keep him in there until the outcome of the criminal case (the marijuana charge). This wasn't back in November, 2017, mind you. So, I have a few questions. My first question is: If the case is dropped to a summary, what are the chances that parole would just release my fiancé? His court date has been postponed twice already, which means my fiancé has been sitting in prison with no answers for almost four months now. I decided to look upon my fiancé's docket sheet to find his next court date, and a memo read:
"Commonwealth request for continuance discovery incomplete"
And
"Commonwealth not ready, Seizure analysis outstanding"
It also states:
"Defense requests standing preston objection on this case"
It then reads at the very bottom: "30 day date for seizure & NCD (which I know means new court date) GOOD WITH PO., then it says his new court date, which is next month.
All of this is very confusing to me, and I have a hard time trying to understand these legal terms. ANY help would be appreciated. It's been three long months since he's been incarcerated, and next month his new court date marks the fourth month he has been incarcerated. I'd just like to know what to expect. Also, he has never violated parole before. My fiancé seems to be convinced he's getting out, and I wouldn't even question if he weren't on parole.
