Nancy Grace 3/9/10: Misty pleads not guilty, Misty still in love with Ron

[Kimster]

LP said she's only been in jail a year and I'm sure he meant a month.

 

[Elphaba]

No update on Jr?

 

[LFlorida]

I cannot begin to express ....

<lol, n/m,taking it d/s>

[Kimster]

In prison, yes. But she is in a county jail and there aren't drugs flowing in the county jails so much. That might be what he means. Plus, she is in lockdown.

Yes he could have meant that. In my experience here in Alberta, I know there are drugs in remand (jail), prison and lockdown, big business. Cigarettes are huge business as well since the no smoking ban. Can the inmates smoke in county jail?

What began in Miami, Florida, when the first treatment drug court was established in summer 1989 is by now recognized as a movement involving potentially more than 600 courts in the United States and elsewhere. The growth of that movement in less than a decade from the first Miami court to a handful of pioneering courts in Oakland (California), Portland (Oregon), Las Vegas (Nevada), Fort Lauderdale (Florida), and Kalamazoo (Michigan), and then to a whole generation of drug court initiatives, represents one of the more rapid and dramatic changes in American criminal justice in recent memory.

Drug court participants undergo long-term treatment and counseling, sanctions, incentives, and frequent court appearances. Successful completion of the treatment program results in dismissal of the charges, reduced or set aside sentences, lesser penalties, or a combination of these. Most importantly, graduating participants gain the necessary tools to rebuild their lives.

Sounds like Misty is good with her attorney again. Don't bail her out if there are strings attached. She is going to try and get drug court. What is that?

 

[Pastalover]

Hi everybody. Who was the blonde hair girl? Walking up to the Judge?

I think your referring to Hope Sykes, Ron's cousin.

 

[passionflower]

Thanks everyone, missed the show...........maybe that is a good thing???

 

[panthera]

Jean C says she is enjoying being the star in prison!!!

I agree with Jean. I just wish somebody would give Misty a dose of reality that she's likely going to be spending a long time in prison; and it won't be anything like the county jail. MOO

It just reinforced how out of touch MC is.

Why aren't Misty's parents explaining this to her?

I'm probably wrong, but I don't think Misty will get over 10 years in prison. Her lawyer will probably give a good defense if he doesn't drop her. Plus, I don't think Misty's complaints or buying food is anything odd and the things she says don't seem like anything a young street wise girl wouldn't be saying. I agree with the caller that she could have been zonked out when Haleigh was taken. No one would be right after a 3 day binge and Misty probably took oxycontin and it wore off about 3 am.

Oh where do I begin to try to answer this? Where do the blind lead the blind?

MOO

Searchfortruth has the basics right, but they vary a little from county to county in Fl.

In Brevard County it's usually a one year program - for the first three months two group meetings with your drug court group a week, if you do ok, after three months, it drops to one a week.

You meet with your probation officer for an hour one on one once a month.

You have to call seven days a week to see if you are to be drug tested that day (here it's $15 a test, and if you come up dirty, you can challenge the test for another $25).

You have to pay for the right to be in the program, but they do have assistance for those who can not afford it.

You can not take anything addictive, including otc meds or drugs prescribed to you, you can not drink any alcohol. You can not frequent any place who's primary business is selling alcohol, nor can you work at one unless you were doing that prior to being in the program.

You have to do at least 50 hours of community service. If you do anything wrong, at any point, they can sanction you, and sanctions can range from writing reports, to losing time you have earned, to going to a work farm, to going to a place called "The Bridge" which is a type of halfway house/jail, to being kicked out of the program.

You have to attend two aa/na meetings a week.

You are subject to home inspections.

Color me dumb, but I just realized if you go to http://brevarddc.com/ and scroll down to the bottom of the page, there are attachments. One of them is the participant handbook. It tells you everything.

(and no, I am not in the drug court, but know someone who is)

No it's not and not for anyone with any kind of violent offense. It's usually not offered to repeat offenders. The program is so tough that many people choose to just do their time.

The person must hold a full time job (state contacts employers for check ups), there are random drug tests usually twice a week, three AA/NA meetings per week, plus one group meeting with drug court a week. Once a month you go before the judge where your case manager tells him about your compliance over the past month. Most drug court programs last a year, some longer. Also, the defendant is required to pay for each drug test (usually $25 a pop), not having the money is the same as a failed drug test.

Certainly I am appalled that Misty has spent $400.00 in munchies in 1 month !! CC could use that money for her little ones.
That money wont be flowing into her account for too much longer if I was her I would be saving every penny I could a min. of 25 years is a long long time...They need to quit wiping her butt and put her in general, let her get knocked around a bit and then lets see what spews out of her mouth, I would prob. get arrested just so I could slap her a few times....
Ugh !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Beatrice]

They know what the drug charges are...& what prison time they represent.

Why not stop appeasing Misty with "Sweetie, we'll get you out."

That's probably how it's been all her life ~ enabling, not parenting; and letting MC have the last word. MOO
