Arlington County Jail

Pre-sentencing

Interview with ChiChi


JM: Tell us about the pre-sentencing process:
ChiChi: I was charged in 2002 with 6 years probation. Unfortuneatly I did not take it seriously and violated. I then was given 9 months in jail, totally unexpected.

JM: Did you have police stop by your house for questioning?
ChiChi: Yes, before I was charged they knocked on my door and made me come to secret service headquarters several times.

JM: What was your court appearance like?
ChiChi: The fisrt tie it was quick because the prosecuors and my attorney were on the same page. When I violated it was different, the judge was very mean and somewhat disappointed.
