Rob: the precentencing was a very long wait and difficult

Jen: Long and drawn out. I was in jail for 10 days before I was bonded out and waited a court date unil December, I was released in September, so I would have been in jail for 2 months or more. After that I was asked to do Drug court and awaited a contract date until April the next year.

JM: Did you have police stop by your house for questioning? If not please give us details on how you came to be arrested.
Ryan: no the police came to my home and arrested me and my faince on a warrant issued for the accused crime
Ron: no they stopped me for someone accused me drivng reckless and hitting them
Sandra: no
Jose: no the police came to me when i was reporting a theft then they called my name into the distpater and came back a warrant on me for a failure to appear
Rob: no the police came to my friends house where i was visiting him i was sleeping in my rv and the officer came knocking then arrested me for using my rv as living quarters
Andre: no police came to my house
Jen: No a police never stopped by my house for questioning, I was arrested when my friend was pulled over for having no tag light. We had just parked at a hotel where my friends were having a party when the lights by the police were turned on as my feet touched the ground to get out of the car. I figured once the keys were out of the ignition and I was out of the car I was no longer involved. However, that wasn't the case. I was asked to get back in the car, so I did. Then, the police asked for my ID I lied and said I didn't have it hoping they would let me go, I had nothing to do with her freaking tag light. After that they asked if they could search her vehicle. She said yes. I asked if I could get my belongings, they said no. At that point in time they searched my purse and found 3 nicks, blunts and a little bit of molly in a siliphane wrapper. I was arrested after that. They found a crack pipe of hers but let her go.

JM: What was court like? Please give as many details as you recall.
Ryan: the court apperance was crazy dcf kept trying to put things aginst us that we never did plus it was a long procedure with the state attorney
Ron: my court appearence was scary the jude was putting people back in jail for nothing when it was my turn thank fully it was just for hiring a lawyer so i siad i wanted a public defender to represent me
Sandra: the courthouse takes to long with the cases.
Jose: the court appearence was held inside the jail on via tv it was long wait to be called up and was hard to talk to the attorney
Rob: my court apperance was very long wait nervous and hoped to be a good judge
Andre: court was alright it was a bit scary at first when my case came up the judge asked questions to my lawyer and then to me it was like convincing the judge i didnt do the crime
Jen: Court was quick, only because I was bonded out. I was asked to be diverted into Drug Court, so the process didn't take long in the actual court room. What took long was waiting to actually begin Drug Court itself. I waited over 4 months to begin the program, which ended up being very expensive.

JM: What were your original charges? What did you end up being convicted of?
Andre: my charge was using vehicle as living quarters all because i lost my home and i was just trying to have a safe place to park to sleep
Jen: Giving False name, Posession of marijuana less than 20 grams, possession of MDMA, and possession of paraphanelia.
