Pre-sentencing
Interview with Bill and Rochelle
JM: Tell us about the pre-sentencing process:
Bill: Court Dates regularly spaced 20 to 30 days apart.
You will have several "plea agreements" presented
each time you go to court. Duval County has a
regular practice of attempting to have you sign a
"near-maximum" sentence agreement (example: 4 year
prison sentence on a charge that carries a maximum
of 5 years)
Rochelle: I went to court and I plead guilty. They set me a
new court date I return and was sentenced.
JM: Did you have police stop by your house for questioning? If not please give us details on how you came to be arrested.
Bill: No
Rochelle: No
JM: What as court like? Please give as many details as you recall.
Bill: Van transportation takes 12 inmates each to
holding cells at court house. At court house,
there is large holding cell for about 150 inmates.
Often it is very loud, each inmate is called out
one at a time for court appearance.
Rochelle: Scary, and it made me very sad.
