Client is serving a federal sentence on a unrelated matter. The State’s offer in this case was the minimum prison sentence to run after his federal sentence was over. If the client accepted this offer he would not be allowed to participate in drug treatment or mental health treatment in the federal system. In the end we rejected the State’s offer and did an open plea to the Judge. At the plea we explained the problem with the State’s offer and what we were asking for and how it would help my client in the future. The Judge agreed with us and sentenced my client to the minimum prison sentence to run at the same time as his federal prison sentence. Now my client will be able to participate in treatment programs so he can be in a better position not to reoffend when he completes his sentence.
