He has a statutory stay of adjudication. He has pleaded guilty. He is not found guilty. He is not a convicted felon.
Deferring prosecution for certain first time drug offenders.... (c) In granting relief under this section, the court shall, without entering a judgment of guilty and with the consent of the person, defer further proceedings and place the person on probation upon such reasonable conditions as it may require and for a period, not to exceed the maximum sentence provided for the violation.
So he can be put on a stay of adjudication for up to 20 years. His case is over now. The sentencing hearing is very strange and it may actually be the complete termination of his stay of adjudication, meaning if he can last until April without getting into legal trouble again, he has no legal issues.
So this is very favorable to him if I'm reading it right.
