Maryland's Courts

[MDPOLICE]

I was curious to see what county everyone works in and how there courts are compared to others. I work in the Prince Georges County area where everyone pretty much is set free from the courts. 1st conviction for PWID is probation, handgun charge is home detention, 5th DUI you might see some jail time, no license go to driving without a license diversion program, steal from stores go to theft diversion program, etc......

Once in a while judge will sentence someone to jail in Circuit Court for robbery, rape, or homicide / manslaughter.

Any stories????

First appearance, no lawyer. Postponed.
Second appearance, officer on vacation. Postponed.
Third appearance, no lawyer. Pray jury trial.
Fourth appearance, officer on call. Let's make a deal!

Wash, rinse, repeat. Always repeat.
