Why are legal systems different?
Hello, I’m a citizen of the United States; born and raised in Brownsville, Pa.
I don’t quite understand the legal system.
Back in the year of 2011, I was a victim of a simple assault. The man who assaulted me was given a sentence of nine to 23 months, but he was released in three months.
Now, my friend/caregiver’s fianc茅 was sent to Washington jail around Feb. 28 for the same charge聽 of simple assault. He has complied with the magistrate in what he needs to do which was to take anger management classes which he has completed, but no court date has been set for his release.
It’s not fair of the legal system doing things backwards.
Someone, please tell me the difference between Fayette County law and Washington County law.
