I used to know someone who divorced a man and married his twin.
I know a man (we'll call him Dave or this is going to get confusing) who divorced his wife (call her Carol) so he could get it on with his step-daughter (call her June). Meanwhile his own son, Carol's step-son (call him Billy), was having an affair with Carol the whole time, and she (Carol) turns out to be pregnant, and Dave doesn't know if it's his son or grandson, because he's been occasionally getting it on with Carol even after their divorce. Then June gets pregnant as well and insists it's Billy's, despite Billy's denials. Lord knows what things they'd get up to with cloning technology.
There are worse things happening than even Chris can imagine, and not just on Jerry Springer. You don't want to know what's doings in your average Fundamentalist Mormon Trailer Park.
Far too many people think with their genitals and not their brains, and that's if they think at all.
I thought they had to let him out after a year? Law is confusing. No wonder you have to go to school for it.
You have to go to school for it
and pass the bar exam. That's the important part. It's not like having a masters in intersectional basket weaving where you only have to wait around accruing massive college debts until they give you a diploma. Lawyers have to prove they know their shit (at least to other lawyers).
Because law in theory can be very confusing. Law in practice tends to boil down to what you can get away with so that nobody complains too much. For example, bees are now legally fish in the state of California. That's very confusing, but they're getting away with it (probably because most people are too baffled to complain).
CVRJ legally
can't just let Chris out after a year. A few years ago they could have dumped him out onto the streets, but now they have to spend up to thirty days finding a more or less permanent placement for him, starting at the end of his incarceration. So where are they going to keep him housed and fed in the meantime? It's a new law in Virginia, so they may not have any process established for it. If this were New York or Oregon or California etc. they would already have established arrangements with various respite homes and the like, but it's possible Greene County doesn't have any respite homes (yet), much less working agreements with them.
tl;dr: They may not have anywhere to put Chris other than keep him in jail while they look for a placement. Instead of being punitive incarceration, it will be justified as more of a protective custody sort of thing.
It's always been the same basic question for Chris' entire life: What they hell are we going to do with Chris? Only now it's the Jail's / Greene County social services' problem.
But what about weens on wheels? I’m among those who are doubtful about how many of them would actually let Chris stay in their home, but giving him a ride is a different story.
True, there is that problem, but it could end rather badly for the ween in question. I'm too lazy to look up Virginia law, but if Chris ends up under a more or less permanent protective order against returning to Barb or 14BLC, that could make the ween an accessory.
@Pointless Sperg or
@AnOminous likely know the answer. I suspect Greene County would want to make an example of such a ween. They've been treating Chris with kid gloves. Will they be so kind to assholes who really should know better?
