JM: Tell us about the pre-sentencing process: Chuck: I was charged with a crime and notified of that
so I turned myself in to the jail. Blake: I was taken before a magistrate, read a copy of
the charges
and then given a bail. I was then taken into a
big holding area
along with other detainees and forced to wait
until they called
me up front to get my diagnostic info and my
health care info.
JM: Did you have police stop by your house for questioning? If not please give us details on how you came to be arrested. Chuck: I turned myself into the jail. Blake: Me and my friend got into an argument a d the
police were
called, they came and investigated at first but
no one was
arrested. After they left some more words were
exchanged and
those words led to a physical altercation in
which the police
were resent to the house and I was arrested.
JM: What was court like? Please give as many details as you recall. Chuck: I went to court a couple months after that. I
was in jail about a month. I got out of jail by
requesting that court release me. Blake: I was awakened around 4am and sent to the
bullpen whereby
we waited for marshalls to come call our name
and divide us
up into groups depending on what court and/
or judge you
were going to see. You talked to your lawyer
and was brought
in front of closed circuit TV to see the judge.
JM: What were your original charges? What did you end up being convicted of? Chuck: Charged with Larceny. I ended up not being
convicted of anything because my charges were
not processed. Blake: aggravated assault, charges were dropped.
