Pre-sentencing

Interview with Ryan and Kyle

JM: Tell us about the pre-sentencing process:
Ryan: Well, I couldn't make bail so I was in there from the moment I got arrested.

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: I stole a truck got in a high speed chase. Got two hit and runs from that and an assault with a deadly weapon which was the truck I guess.
Kyle: Driving under the influence of intoxicating substances.

JM: What was court like? Please give as many details as you recall.
Ryan: I went to trial and man it sucked. Kinda scary to be charged with the 1st degree assault. My range was 15 to 20 years. They wanted me to plead guilty but I had to take a shot. I was glad that the jury dropped the charges.

JM: What were your original charges? What did you end up being convicted of?
Ryan: 1st degree assault, 1st degree theft, alluding capture and two hit and runs. It was dropped down to 2nd degree assualt and everything else was charged under that.
