It is helpful to get a psycosexual evaluation although there is no guarantee he'll read it but the fact that you did it is good for your defense. It's best to get someone recognized by the court. Even if the judge dose not read it it'd good to have on the probation/parole record.
The fact that they took the charge down to 1 from 4 says they really don't want him in jail... Sounds very similar to my case..
With that said...we can make a difference. Please get out and vote. We have more say than you think.
Judges can do and say what they want. They do not have to agree with the recommendation.
My experience is this......
I often wondered what impact the support statements of the defendant plays a role in their decision. The judge i talked to said yes. They do read the letters. It makes a differance.
So i wrote my letter in defense of mt SIL. He faced 60 plus years in prison. He got 10.
So please dont give up. Not all judges care but do not give up.
