From what I read once Utah's sentence is served AZ gets him, although we'll hear more about that depending on if he's convicted in AZ and depending on sentencing there. He's got two consecutive five year sentences to life and his parole hearing is November 2010 in Utah.Molly,
The more I read of Warren Jeffs, the more convinced I am that this man is nothing more than a common criminal.
Does anyone know how it's handled if Warren Jeffs is convicted of the charges in the Arizona case? Will he serve his sentence in Utah, and when he's eventually paroled be turned over to Arizona to begin serving his sentence there? Or will the Utah and Arizona courts agree to Jeffs serving his sentences concurrent in one state, or consecutive in one state?
"Everyone with a first-degree sex offense has a hearing after three years automatically," said Jim Hatch, parole board spokesman. "It's pursuant to our administrative rules." "The hearing does not mean Jeffs would be released from prison at that time. Instead, it is his first chance to appear before the parole board, which reviews his presentence report, criminal history and guidelines on how much time he could serve. There is also input from the Utah Department of Corrections, and victims of a crime are allowed to speak at the hearing."
