Thank you all for your concern. It was the judge that wouldn't drop the charges the first time. He also told the young man that he was on probation the rest of his life with a "no tolerance". So guess what....he will be having the same judge, that said he would throw the book at him..meaning the max. of 10 years.. The sad thing is too, my daughter is afraid that after he is sentenced he will try to commit suicide rather then spending 10 years in prison.
