Question : Judicial stand point Home Invasion Charge question?
My sons father was a ex con – served 6 yrs in state prison for arrmed burglary to a occupied dwelling on 3 counts and fire arm possesion was out did great while i was with him. Then our son came along and stuff changed he went back to his old ways and started robbing ppl again. Personally i hope they throw the book at him but my question is….

1. If he is in county jail now with a 7500 cash/surenty bond now and already when to district court and is now scheduled for Circuit court which is like stage 2 in our state of michigan. Does that mean that hes pleaing not guilty? Or does that just mean all home invasion charges go thru two courts?

2. If hes facing this new charge now, and knowing his previous criminal background do you think they will throw the book at him ? and make him serve all 20 yrs? Or what do you think will happen to him?

Hes been in trouble in Mi when he was a minor and when he was 18 and 19, in and out of jail, warrents but never in prison in michigan. But moved to florida and got sentenced for the following items and has been out of prison for 3 yrs and was good and now after 3 yrs he back in jail facing 20 yrs. From what i hear he has 5-7 felonies on his record.
