I have a very good question for ya'll
I don't know catfish. It don't sound right but, hell. I ain't a lawyer. I
have seen it done as an option where the judge says I'll let you out of the
slammer provided you leave the state and never come back but I don't know
how a judge can just order him to leave the state. maybe check with another
lawyer.

That sounds 100% deadass wrong to me. He served his sentence, and that is
that. The judge can rightly give him the maximum permissible sentence if
he appears before the judge again, But, as for banishing someone from a
state, I believe that is pure baloney. I think your son needs a new
lawyer.
Pure bullshit, Cat. Of course, the judge might be counting on your Son and
his lawyer not wanting to fuck around with him, and hoping your boy will
just pack his shit and go.
there is no way that is even remotely constitutional. Time for a new
lawyer. your current sumbitch sounds like a fithy commie liberal democrat.
That really doesn't sound right. I have a cousin who did hard time in a
state pen for running over two gals while he was drunk (they both died) and
after he did his time, he got out and still lives in that same state...
If the lawyer says he can do it, he probably can, though I think the
Supreme Court should ban such a practice, the main reason being that the
only purpose this serves is to throw your problems off on other states. If
you decide an individual will likely commit a crime in the future (an
assumption that is inherently unconstitutional) you shouldn't just be able
to ship them away for somebody else to deal with.
This happened to a friend of the family years back..he was thrown out of
Georgia. We were almost expecting this to be done to my brother when he
got out of prison but his situation is he can't leave the state without
permission.
LOL....hes had 13 dui's in 8 years but none in the last 3...so 13 in 5
years....think he has a bigger problem than the judge...and thats what you
should be looking at
Such an act would amount to stripping him of his state citizenship. No
way.
Sounds legal to me....I remember back in high school, there was a guy I
knew that ended up in Juvenile Hall so much (drug dealing, etc) that his
family was told that he was unwelcome in the state of California anymore.
They ended up moving to Florida...too bad for that state.
Cat, If this was my son, and he just spent the last year in jail for his
13th DUI - I'd pack his bags and ship him out of the state so fast that
sweet taste of JD wouldn't even enter his thick head. The reason why, you
ask??? Because if there is a number 14 in his future - his future will be
sitting in a jail cell for a lot longer that 1 year! And if he were to
hurt someone in one of his drunken rages ----- forget about ever seeing
your son free again. Get him out of the state and pray he never drinks
again.
Cat....Sorry 'bout your boy, but you better not piss off that judge by
tellin' him what he can and can't do. He didn't get to be a judge by being
a dumb-ass, and I 'spect he knows the law bettern a bunch of blog readers.
As much as I dislike the profession, lawyers know what judges can and can't
do also. Listen to your boy's lawyer. Better yet, soon as you get the
chance, kick your boy's ass for being such a dumb-ass and get him into
re-hab. He needs help.....BAD!
I dunno, Cat. Seems to me that if the judge says he can do it, and the
lawyer says so, too, then that's the way it is, and there's really no point
fighting it, especially in light of the bigger, real problem.
I know there's really nothing you can do about that, though-it has to come
from your son. Unless you want to commit him, but I'm not even sure you can
do that... I'm sorry to hear he's not doing anything to make himself
better... My ex-husband is the same way (with far fewer DUIs, but that
doesn't excuse not being willing to stop drinking - or drinking & driving).
Good Luck with this...
I have to think that your son could travel through Georgia and be legal
since that involves interstate commerce--controlled and protected by
federal laws. Maybe he should change his name or go somewhere where they
appreciate drivers who drink--like New Orleans! He could live in the 4th
Ward for two years before anyone would know that he's there. Get a second
opinion. Good luck.
No lawyer worth his pay is going to give legal advice in a blog comment,
but I cannot imagine that this is constitutional. I strongly suggest that
you get a second opinion before your son makes plans to move.
I know he has problems and he will not get help. When he is in jail, been
there 3 times for drinking, they help him with drinking problems, then the
first thing he does when he gets out, is drink. He has to want help. Thanks
for all of your views, Cat
