No while i custody they say he escaped from his original place of holding and now has an escape charge. What do you think would happen? What do you think should be done? What would be the sentence if convicted?

Re: Fugitive charges

Escape is a 3rd degree offense. He is facing 3-5 years assumming he is not extended term eligible. If he was on parole and escaped, most likely he will also max out on his current sentense. You need to hire an experienced criminal attorney to make sure that he is getting the best results possible.
