Re: First Time Offender
It appears that your husband was sentenced to the maximim prison term of five years for a third degree felony. Unfortunately, he cannot file for judicial release until he has served four years. However, he may be able to file a delayed appeal of his sentence. The likelihood of success would depend upon the findings that the judge made at the sentencing hearing and whether or not such findings are supported by the facts. I would certainly be happy to discuss it in more detail.
