I doubt he would do any real jail-time even if he somehow blew his probation.
I just can't see the justice system tossing an Austic man child who is his very elderly mothers only care provider into the slammer.
A pity plea-bargain would be the most likely outcome. Which kinda irks me....if anyone but Chris did this they would see real repercussions not just a slap on the wrist.
So, you're wanting to play the autism card for him? Don't forget the court should have those psych evals to also base their actions on (if he complied).
What more of a plea bargain can he be given? He was given a chance to pay (he has income) and do his service (he has time). I don't think the judge will haul him in and ask what he objected to about his terms. He accepted the terms and didn't abide by them. If that's the case, off he goes. If you think the justice system doesn't want to play kick the autistic, then they may have to toss him into the looney bin. Even the crazy have to complete their sentences, and if they're too crazy to do it, that's why we have mental hospitals.
Screw Barb. Anyone can say they're a caretaker. They should require doctor's notes about her condition. And if they get that far, they may just find out OPL isn't doing such a good job of caretakin', what, with bedsores and all.
