Knowing only the case informaton which you have provided, I would say that, if the proofs against your

boyfriend are substantial, the deal that has been worked out is fairly good. I would hope that the three

year prison sentence has no stipulation of parole ineligibility for a part of the sentence.

Call me if you like.

Since it is a gun charge, I am sure it is a 3 with a 3. You could get that waived though. If it is a 3 flat, it would be tough to do much better. You could hire an attorney to review the case and give a second opinion. I do that as a litigation consultant. If you want more info, just let me know.
