What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
For Aiden-Jay in LA
In response to your two questions.
1.) No one can tell you how much time he will serve for his aggravated battery. Rough sentencing listed below.
§34. Aggravated battery
Aggravated battery is a battery committed with a dangerous weapon.
Whoever commits an aggravated battery shall be fined not more than five thousand dollars, imprisoned with or without hard labor for not more than ten years, or both.
Acts 1978, No. 394, §1. Amended by Acts 1980, No. 708, §1
2.) You can submit a victim impact statement to the District Attorney or speak at his sentencing (upon conviction) to tell the judge what you want and that you desire mental health treatment as part of his sentence. The judge may consider but is not bound by your request.
One person that responded to one of your original posts however is a mental health professional. She stated the chances of success are very low. Please read her response on the likelihood of mental health treatment being effective. Mental health issues exacerbate abuse but do not cause abuse. There are abusive people with no mental illness and mentally ill abusive people. The fact he is mentally ill (if he even is) makes him more dangerous. I really understand your desire and belief you can help him. You CAN'T though.
Please keep in mind that given his history it will be nothing short of a miracle if he changes. If you believe in miracles and give him that chance, the odds of you losing your children to the state of Louisiana are incredibly high. That would actually not be the worst case scenario however; death for you or your children is the worst case scenario.
Everyone that posted wants you to be safe. Please get in touch with your local domestic violence outreach center to join a support group or talk to someone about the dynamics of domestic violence and help you deal with the trauma being attacked, losing the person you thought would help you raise your child (together), losing your dream of a normal relationship, and focusing on you and your child's future.
