Legal Question in Criminal Law in Kentucky

Re: Need answers

They could all get different sentences depending upon a variety of factors. I'm not certain he would be eligible for parole if he plead to Assault 2nd Degree. You may want to contact someone about possibly filing a motion for Shock probation. An attorney could possibly answer your questions for you more clearly. Hope this helps.

Re: Need answers

It is not possible to give you a clear legal answer to your inquiry without a more detailed evaluation of the facts of your case. Several questions are presented:

1. Did your son plead guilty to anything?

2. Was you son represented by an attorney when he appeared in court?

3. Did your son have a record of prior convictions?

4. Is your son an adult or a juvenile?

5. What was the value of the property alleged to be taken? (Over $300 is a felony in Kentucky.)

You are best advised to seek the services of a competent Kentucky attorney. You can get a referral to a criminal law specialist from the Kentucky Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, at

Additionally, you can telephone your local bar association for a referral, or can find a good lawyer on-line at the Kentucky Bar Association's Lawyer Referral Service:
