San Diego County Jail

Pre-sentencing

Interview with Tim


JM: Tell us about the pre-sentencing process:
Tim: There really was no pre-sentencing. I was kept overnight in the drunk tank and released on my own recognizance the next morning. I was scheduled to come back to court the next month.

JM: Did you have police stop by your house for questioning?
Tim: The police never needed to come by house for questioning because I was not involved in an investigation. I had blown a .08 in a breathalyzer and was arrested.

JM: What was your court appearance like?
Tim: I showed up for court and waited almost all day for my case to be called. It basically took a whole ten minutes for everything to happen once I was in front of the judge. I just had to plead and wait for the judges verdict of what form my punishment would take.
