Pre-sentencing

Interview with Angela

JM: Tell us about the pre-sentencing process:
Angela: You don't get a court date between 30-90 days . You don't get a phone call either . So basically you just sit and you don't know how long you will sitting . 72 hours after you come in you go to video court and they ask you if you want a court appointed attorney or represent yourself . Then you wait for your arraignment.

JM: Did you have police stop by your house for questioning? If not please give us details on how you came to be arrested.
Angela: No. I was arrested at a hotel. My boyfriend was taking me to do a nude and topless massage . It was a set up. I was charged with prostitution and he was charged with pandering. we went to the city jail and was processed into booking. the next morning we were shipped to the maximum security jail.

JM: What was court like? Please give as many details as you recall.
Angela: Court was a long process. They put my court date off for 4 months. I would have sat in jail longer than my charge carries . Court was scary too . You hear the judge sentencing everybody hard so you don't really know what kind of mood he is in and what he is going to do to you . Your life is in his hands and its really scary. Not a good feeling at all.

JM: What were your original charges? What did you end up being convicted of?
Angela: Massaging without licence No sbo licence Prostitution
