Re: my son took a plea for 31/2 years

Your son can get time off for good behavior. If this was not a most serious offense he can get 1/3 of his time off. Otherwise, he can get 1/5 of his time off. Also, because he took a plea for 3 1/2 hears doesn't mean the judge will sentence him to that. The judge can give more or less depending on what is presented at the sentencing hearing. If you have additional questions or need further assistance contact me directly.
