Re: Stimulated weapons
If he is charged with parole violation, or with a crime of 'possession of weapon', yes, he will need a lawyer. He can call me for help if that happens. Whether they charge him or not is up to the DA.
Re: Stimulated weapons
Yes he needs a lawyer at the parole hearing (and if charges are filed)...Board hearings are difficult due to the level of proof required...just about none...and the sentecing discretion of the board...whatever they want.
