Dwi Attorney
Q.Would an attorney be able to save you $3000 in the process? If not, then it might not be worth paying the $3000 attorney fee. One option would be to call the DA or prosecuter and see if you can work some kind of a deal. This would be pleading no contest or guilty and entering some kind of treatment program or support group (like AA), and getting some kind of break in the fines and costs in exchange for saving the public the time and expense of a trial. $3000 won't have even paid for a funeral for a single person you might have killed. IMHO, pay for a better lawyer and worry about how to get out of bankrupcy after you get out of jail (you WILL be doing some jail time, there is no way around it on second offense these days assuming a guilty verdict is found). As far as your threat of suicide goes, you are a week man if that is all it takes for you to feel like it is worth ending your life over. Perhaps you should go see a counselor, it might offer insight as to why you have a drinking problem in the first place.
A.I'm assuming that you bailed him out and I wonder why. If he was frightening you to the point that you called the police to begin with then the best thing for both of you would have been to let him in jail. For one thing, if he had stayed in jail any time served would have been credited on whatever sentence he gets. He still has to be given an attorney if he can't afford one as far as I know. Talk to the public defender's office. He definitely needs alcohol rehab and counseling for his post traumatic stress from Viet Nam. Has he been to the V.A. for any treatment? You should call and talk to them about what's available for him. He must have given the police a really hard time for them to have to use pepper spray to subdue him. They were only doing their job. And it's not a good thing when someone calls the police and then turns around and bails the person out a few hours later. Prison time might be the best thing for him because he'll get referred for treatment from there or depending what prison he's in will have treatment there. Unless he has a long criminal record I doubt he'll get anywhere near 20 years to do, but prison is very likely if he assaulted the police officers.
