mom still in limbo. He had an appearance this week, but it's been further delayed. I know that there is a lot here. I see court cases like this get continued for well over a year at times. So don't get frustrated with the timing, some courts are understaffed.
For certain, follow the advice of your counsel.
But, I'd also say that there are things that your son can to to 'impress' the judge. For the incident he admitted to, figure out why he did it and address that. So for instance, if it was boredom; he now sticks to a schedule, had 2 jobs and plans out hobbies and entertainment nights out with friends. If it was peer pressure; he no longer associates with those friends and has looked for a mentor at work to confide in and get guidance from that's not family. If it was anger; he's entered counseling to seek tools in how to address anger. If it was grief over losing someone; he's entered counseling and has a treatment plan to address the grief.
Doing these things show the court that he is remorseful, that he has initiative to seek out changes on his own and that he realizes something caused him to do this thing and he really wants to change it.
-signed the probation officer who is in court a lot, helps people address life issues that resulted in crimes and hopes to make the community a better place.
**If you have questions about anything, please message me. I'm always willing to help out.

I just wanted to say two things: 1) it sucks that this thing is dragging out so long, and 2) shevy , it's really nice of you to write out all that information-- it sounds like what you wrote would be quite helpful.
