Your post contains no question for anyone here to answer.

In any event, if there is someone in jail you care about, you'd be hiring them a lawyer. Have you done that? If not, why not? Letting someone go to court without counsel greatly increases the chance things will go badly.

This is why I charge a consult, because many folks want to come in and talk, and bounce ideas off of me. The question at the end is: Does this sound right? When the real answer to any question posed is: You need to hire an experienced attorney, so the attorney can assist your son.
