Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

Son being held for over 6 months

My son was arrested in November of 2007. He has not spoken to a public defender, he has not gone to court. How long can they hold him without sentencing him?

Re: Son being held for over 6 months

This is too long for him to sit without speaking to his PD. You should write/call the Public Defender. It is an elected position just like the State Attorney.

Your other alternative is to try to hire a private attorney. In which county is he in jail?
