Boogie got a deferred adjudication for 2 years. Its basically
"you are guilty of a crime(s), but there is little risk of it happening again and no one was seriously hurt so we are just going to set some terms, usually don't do crime, and wipe your record after x time rather than go through the hassle of extended court proceedings and impacting your life with a felony"
It still says the case is open and the last current docket entry is the plea agreement. They haven't yet imposed sentence that they say, with the prosecutor asking for 2 years (deferred). It's pretty unusual for a judge to exceed a prosecutor's recommendation.
If they actually did already fully decide it, the docket should reflect that fairly soon. There are no current scheduled events, and I'd expect sentencing to appear as a docket entry. Also he (or someone) apparently paid $1,440. I don't know whether that's a fine or costs.
So if I'm not out of date or don't know something that isn't on the docket yet, he's pled to this with the prosecution asking for two years, but at least conceivably if I'm not missing something, he could actually get less or more.
So the judge could conceivably get a wild hair up his ass and sentence him to the max, or to a guidelines sentence more likely, but I don't think this is likely. I think we're looking at the 2 year DA the prosecution is asking for.
I was a little disappointed in the deferred adjudication, but if Boogie is, on paper, a registered felon then I don’t really care about anything else that happens.
Unfortunately, I believe a DA gets dismissed at the end of the process, assuming he's going for first offender deferred adjudication under Ark. Code Ann. § 16-93-303. So unless he fucks up in the next two years, he won't end up ultimately a convicted felon, but the case is dismissed without actual adjudication of guilt.
I hope they at least take away his weed and Chad's gun (so
@Winkleham can go murder him).
My lawyer and the prosecutor all been praying he would show back up.
