Re: can they use priors against me
Class 4 priors are generally valid for 5 years. Time spent in custody is excluded from the five year period. Also, one's third and subsequent priors are 'forever allegable.' That is, they are valid forever for enhancement. If you are seeking to hire private counsel, please call me at (six zero two- two two two - nine two three seven).
