Hi everyone... thanks for taking a minute to read my post. I am keeping out some details in order to keep the post length to a minimum.
My husband is currently in jail on a PV (new M3 charges supposedly occurring on two dates, one of which he has an alibi for, and a tech violation of missing an appointment). His current probation is one year on an M3 charge. He has a record from 8+ years ago, not the same charges as the current ones, and he has been off parole for years.
I have two questions:
1. Our lawyer is looking to have the current charges dismissed, but if he was to be found guilty of one M3 charge (since we have an alibi for the other), any insight on how much time he might be looking at serving?
2. He's been in for two weeks and while the prelim has been scheduled 6 weeks out, still no word on the PV hearing. We thought we'd have heard by now. Is there anything in PA that says when a PV is to be scheduled? I can't find any info via online searches.
Thanks again!
