Re: Domestic Violence
Domestic violence is when you cause or attempt to cause physical harm to a family member. It can also occur when you threaten a family member.The fact that you have three priors indicates that you may in all likelyhood be charged with a felony next time. Secondly, it indicates that you will in all likelyhood see the inside of a jail cell for a while. And third, the Court can reinstate the suspended jail sentences in the prior cases. The above is a worst case scenario, It is very difficult to predict what the Judge will do in a particular situation. But, I would pack a toothbrush next time you go to Court.
