Re: 2nd sexual offense
Greetings! Your brother should have had a bond
hearing by now. He needs a lawyer to represent
him for the purpose of having his case advanced.
There is also the possibility that he may be lost
in the system. I suggests that you take quick
action. There is a three step approach to helping
your brother out of this jam. I will be happy
to answer any additional questions that you might
have.
Re: 2nd sexual offense
Your brother cannot be held for the length of time you have stated unless he has consented for the state to do so. These are his speedy trial rights. You need do get him a defense attorney that specializes in the defense fo these sorts of crimes. Please call me at (800) 313-9619 if you have any questions, for a free consultation.
