Yes, he's close to 30 yrs old. His Jury trial is coming up very soon. He's looking at 10 yrs in prison as far as I know. The court is charging him with aggravated burglary which is a first degree felony. People that really know him feel kind of sorry for him simply because of his mental problems & the lack of funding for his meds. I know at one point I had wanted to personally & legally have him comitted to a mental institution altogether. BUT, the laws for me as his mother, even make that complicated & it would take a while fighting the court system just to do that. I saw a documentary on TV once where they claim that prisons in this state have become the new mental institutions...while the real mental institutions keep closing.....it's such a shame. But thank you for your input as well. The regular attorneys around here want a $2,000 retainer fee before they even touch anything, so that one is probably out of the question. I feel that my son is another person lost in the system all because of lack of funding for medication that would have kept him under control to an extent that nobody would have been harmed in this situation. As for the drinking & the marijuana, he had never done it before until he started being denied for funding for medication. Even last year when he comitted hisself to an institution he hadn't drank or smoked by that time. The mental institution released him within a week because he was doing good on the medication he was prescribed by them. Once that ran out, he went way down hill.
