Complex...can't get prop 36 if unavailable do to doing parole rev. time? Or the DA would file a "for sales" charge...Most PO's are willing to give their guys a shot at Prop 36 if the client is otherwise eligible, as for the DA...anybodies guess.

Re: Criminal law

Anybody's guess. The weight, and the priors, aren't pretty.

Re: Criminal law

This would likely be covered by proposition 36. However, your (and his) real problem is that it is almost certainly a parole violation. His P.O. is liable to violate him, and certainly the D.A. will argue for a violation.

Re: Criminal law

Everything is negotiable with the DA, and depends on his record and their estimation of his likelihood of success in a program. Feel free to contact me to discuss the facts if serious about getting counsel to help.
