Somebody pointed out that mass transit isn’t really a thing in rural Greene county, maybe a Loop bus route to someplace centralized,
Greene county does not have fixed bus routes. They have paratransit. There are two services.
The first service is a van that will pick you up anywhere in Greene County and take you to anywhere in Greene County 7AM - 9PM (last pickup 8PM). It is government subsidized and while there is usually a nominal fee, they have eliminated it due to COVID. You must book one day to two weeks in advance, and they may not be able to pick you up at your desired time if someone else is using it. Ordinarily they plan a route where they pick up and drop off people along the way, though with COVID I don't know how they're handling it.
There is also a van that makes three trips a day to and from Charlottesville Monday through Friday. They will go anywhere in Greene County, connecting to commercial destinations in Charlottesville. Basically they go around Greene County picking people up, then go around dropping them off in Charlottesville. Then they do it in reverse.
Thus Chris can get around Greene County quite easily, or to anywhere in Greene County from Charlottesville, as long as he plans ahead. The Charlottesville van is the only public transit in and out of Greene County.
Charlottesville has a modest bus system inside the independent city, and Arbemarle County mostly uses paratransit and has two limited commuter bus routes in and out of Charlottesville. Charlottesville is also served by Greyhound.
Charlottesville has a somewhat-connected Amtrak station serving many destinations in the eastern US, via once-daily Amtrak Cardinal (NYC <-> Chicago via Appalachian states), once-daily Crescent (NYC <-> New Orleans via Southern States), and a once daily extension of the Northeast Regional goes to Charlottesville (DC <-> NYC <-> Boston). All three trains will take you to major hubs like Philadelphia, DC, and NYC that have frequent service to many places.
So it's possible to cobble together public transit to 14BC from pretty much anywhere that is also connected to public transit, but it involves multiple steps and must be planned in advance, and if you fuck up the last leg at all in Greene County you are stranded for an entire day. I think this is beyond Chris' abilities.
I'm pretty sure they can't prevent him from having any contact with the outside world, even though in Chris's case, cutting him off from the Internet like a Lumberjack Commissar would be the best thing for him, as the Internet has been, if not the source, then a hugely aggravating factor for the worst of his insanity.
Even if Chris does not become a ward of a guardian, they can still have house rules. His choice will be to stay there and accept the rules, or wander off to be homeless and possibly go to prison by the rules of his probation.
Oz is the country where you can't import a silicone handheld masturbation sleeve from Japan, because they're worried the small hunk of petroleum product might be underage.
oh whoops ! haha typo, i spelled it wrong. don't mind me, temporary tard moment LOL d'ohh !
( and as far as not violating HIPPA, you can talk about situations, stories, and te like, as long as you do not say client or staffs name or contact info, and you do not mention, a doctors or case workers name, just say, this or that client at a place i know, did x, y, z, and they did , . . . keep it vague
Apologizes for typoing it. Makes same typo in the very next sentence.
Sorry, just teasing.
No one answered, but I got the sense someone was in there based on the dogs barking patterns.
Only one dog -- Clover. Snoopy is dead.
It's too bad we couldn't see if the window pony in the bottom left window was still there.
Apologies but I don't know a lot about this stuff. All these continuances of the process count towards time served, right? (looking here:
https://law.lis.virginia.gov/vacode/title53.1/chapter6/section53.1-187/ suggests that's the case, but wanted to check here) Is there a ratio to which time-awaiting-trial counts against the sentence? And is it possible that by the time a sentence is handed down, Chris has effectively already served it, and so essentially walks away with nothing further except being put on the register?
Yes, time served counts, including time in the hospital. It counts one to one.
Also any good behavior day credits in jail (one extra day credit for every good conduct day) count as time served in jail, although from my reading it seems these credits will not transfer to a prison sentence, only actual time served.
That's why that kind of stuff is generally excluded as "more prejudicial than probative."
Exactly. The trial is to figure out if Chris committed a crime, not if Chris is a bad person.
