Please Pray For Us Posted: 12-17-04 03:42am
Hey girls, I had a bad night. This might
be kinda long, but here goes. Ok, as I
have said before, eric is a felon, he got
into some big trouble in highschool and
ended up sitting 11 months in jail and
also got five years of probation.
Anyway, about a month ago he was out with
his stupid friends and they were shooting
a gun at a tv (don't ask....). Anyway,
it was after dark and someone called the
cops and the cops gave them all tickets
for shooting after dark or somthing.
Because hes on felon probation, he has to
see his probation officer once a week
every tuesday. Well this week he told
his probation officer about the whole gun
thing (they are required to tell their
probation officers if they had any contact
w/ the police). His probation officer
told him that it is against the law for a
felon to have possession of a gun, or even
shoot one. So not only can he be charged
for felon shooting a gun, but also
violation of probation. His probation
officer told him that he would ask the
county if they are going to charge him or
not, because he said it was a possibility
that they would just let it go. Well
eric talked to his probation officer again
today and he told eric that they told him
they would most likely be charging him,
but his probation officer thought that it
was strange that they haven't charged him
yet since it happened a whole month ago,
so he said there is still hope that they
won't do anything, but things could also
being going slow and they just haven't
filed the papers yet, and they might not
do it until the new year. So, if he gets
charged with felon shooting a gun, he
would serve time in jail and also get
charged for violation of probation, which
would be even more time in jail. Well
you can only spend a year in the county
jail, any time over that you have to serve
in prison. Eric has sat in jail a few
other times besides the time he sat 11
months (because in highschool he would
fail his piss tests while on probation
when he was into the whole drug scene and
have to serve 3 days each time) so he
only has 12 days left in the county jail,
and if he gets charged with all this
stuff, he will most likely have to sit
longer than 12 days, so he will end up
going to prison, which would then require
him to go through boot camp, which the
program would take about 3 months,
including the time he has to serve for the
charges alone. If eric gets charged, he
will most likely be gone for a long time,
the most, 3 months, but probably even
longer. And if he doesn't get charged
until the new year, that means he will
most likely be gone before I have the
baby, missing the birth and everything.
I'm so upset. I can't even begin to
think about what it would be like without
him through this, and it's driving me
crazy that we have to wait to see if he
gets charged or not (if and when he does,
they will put a warrant out for his arrest
and the po's will come get him). I can't
believe this could be happening. 11
months before was absolutly horrible
(obviously we broke up, because I wasn't
about to wait 11 months for his a$$, but
we ended up getting back together when he
got out) please, please, please pray that
they don't charge him for this! I need
your prayers! Lets hope that the county
doesn't do anything about it, other wise I
will be miserable. Thanks girls. I'm
going to bed, I need to get some sleep.
I'll talk to you tomarrow. Luv u.

Oh, I also forgot to say, that his
probation officer told eric that if he
does get charged for all of this, then
obviously he will go infront of the judge
to get sentanced. His probation officer
told him that he would stand up for him
and mention to the judge that eric has
been doing really well the last 2 years
and that he hasn't failed a weekly piss
test once w/ in the last year and a half,
that he has gone through drug and rehab
counseling, aa meetings, and has seen his
probation officer on time every week, and
that eric did not know that he is not
aloud to shoot a gun, and they were only
shooting at a tv on private property, and
that this was just a silly mistake. So
if he mettioned all that then it would
make him look somewhat decent to the
judge, maybe making the sentancing less
than what it could be. Well, pray that
it doesn't even get that far, but if it
does that there is some hope that he won't
have to serve very much time. Ok,
gnite.

Wow, I dont even know what to say to that.
Must be hard. I cant imagine my bf mot
being there for the birth. Hopefully
things will end up all right seeing as how
he's been doing good on his probation and
all. Keep your fingers crossed. By the
way, when is his probation up? I know my
bf, shaun, did some stuff in highschool
that got a granted him a felon but he got
it expunged (sp?) but he still had to
serve probation.

I am so sorry hun. I will keep you guys
in my prayers, and hope everything goes
well. He needs to be there for you and
the baby...Not in jail. I mean he's been
good for a bit as the probation officer
has said, and he's also soon to be a great
father to a wonderful baby girl. He's
also engaged to a wonderful girl!!!!
(he's obviously smart bout that girl he
chose ) I hope everything
turns out okay girl. I hope and pray for
the best, and i'm sure once this is all
through and done...You're gonna lock that
silly boy in your closet until it's time
for lil one.
luv ya girlie
(if you need someone to talk to...You
always know where to find me. I'll be
here for ya)
p.S. I wasn't one of the 15 views..I was
long asleep (or not on ehealth but yelling
at my boy )

I am not sure if this will help or not but
my boyfriend is also a felon..But he has
lots and lots of charges against him. He
also got in trouble for shooting a gun and
being a felon..Difference is he was
shooting at people..At the mall.. And his
probation officer didn't like him so she
made sure he got put in jail..He was
charged with everything...But she said
that if he wouldn't have shot in public at
a person that he could have gotten off
with no jail time or anything, it would
basically just be dropped..So I think your
bf has a good chance to stay outta
jail...I'll pray for ya.

Wow! I dont even know what to say. I
dont know much about the american justice
system or anything.... So I cant really
comment on it all... But I hope they
would have enough caring to let him go be
at the birth of his baby, I know jails
here do that.

Thanks for the replies girls. He gets
done with probation in 2 years, he has
already been on it for 3. Samismama-he
shot the gun about a month ago, and didn't
tell his probation officer until this
week. He was scared to, but realized he
better tell him. Even though his
probation officer told him that if he
didn't tell him all he would have to do is
pay the ticket because he would have never
found out about it, (because he was in a
different county shooting the gun) but
because he did tell him he has to go
through with it, so its a totally seperate
county he will be dealing with. And
about my friend, I went to her funeral, I
didn't handle it too well, and its
somthing I would rather not talk about.
I'm still healing.

Thanks dear! I'm worried about what my
parents are going to say if he ends up
going. Eric has just gotten on their
good side (they didn't like him for most
of the time I have been with him) and they
are getting along really well. I can
just imagine what they will say if they
find out he is in jail again.
