Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

In California, if convicted of any felony, you potentially face a minimum of one or more years in prison, plus fines; on any misdemeanor, you potentially face up to 6-12 months in jail, plus fines. A 'failure to appear' is a misdemeanor.

Multiple counts and charges will multiply your problems. If you have priors and strikes, those will add �penalty �enhancements� under the 3-Strikes rules. If this constitutes a probation or parole violation, factor those new violation charge[s] and old deferred sentence[s] in as well.

Help home?? The courts and jails have no responsibility to 'help' you after release from custody. If you need a ride, you'll have to find it yourself.
