Incarceration Without Indictment Options

Summary

If your husband has been incarcerated for 95 days without indictment, you can request his attorney to file a motion for bond reduction or a personal recognizance bond. If he has not been indicted, you can request a speedy trial under the Sixth Amendment. Consider habeas corpus if detention without charges exceeds a reasonable time. A parole hold means he cannot be released until the parole issue is resolved. If he fired his court-appointed attorney for lack of representation, he can request a new one by writing a letter to the judge explaining the situation and providing valid reasons.

Hello ****, here's what you can do:
- Request his attorney to file a motion for a bond reduction or a personal recognizance bond.
- If he has not been indicted, request a "speedy trial" under the Sixth Amendment.
- Consider habeas corpus if detention without charges exceeds a reasonable time.
Remember each situation is unique, consult with a local attorney for personalized advice.
Ok he also had a parole hold because he had a blue warrant with a new charge, but the charge is being taken by the responsible party.
Hello ****, a parole hold usually means the person cannot be released until the parole issue is resolved, even if the new charge is taken by a responsible party. The parole board or a judge will have to lift the hold. Consult with his attorney on this matter.
He fired his court appointed attorney for lack of representation.
Hello ****, in such a case, your husband can request a new court-appointed attorney. He should write a letter to the judge explaining the situation and request for a new attorney. Please note that he will need to provide valid reasons for firing the previous attorney.
In 3 months he's not once talked to him or seen him and doesn't even know his name.
Hello ****, these reasons can be valid for requesting a new attorney. He can write a letter detailing these issues to the judge. It's important to maintain a respectful tone even while expressing dissatisfaction. He should request a new attorney based on these concerns.
