Re: rights

I really need to know more about the case and his criminal record. I would assume where he is 21 that the only place one can force someone to live in the criminal setting is the house of corrections and that would only be done after a trial or based on an agreed upon plea. The facts sound a little strange where he is being held until his parents return instead of bail being set and someone posting the amount. I hope this helps you please call me at 508-587-9111 if you need further assitance. Martha Kovner

Re: rights

There is some critical information missing. A judge almost never places such restrictive pre-trial conditions on a competent adult.
