COMMONWEALTH vs GEORGE HOPKINS 10-23-19


Recommended Posts

The charges he faced might not be what he is pleading guilty to. The deal could be for less serious charges, so it is a little premature to assume anything when it comes to jail time or sex offender list. Heck, just because it is on the docket doesn’t mean a deal has been agreed to. It could fall apart between now and the court date.

Sexual assault is a violent felony.  These are the people who are kept in prison.  The ones they are putting on house arrest typically have not committed a violent crime & have behaved well in prison.

Normally, yes....but while jailing him, the state ALSO has an obligation to keep him safe while he serves his time.   That complicates things, and you can't isoate everyone in jail.

And a registered sex offender!

He doesn't have to register as a sex offender, which is totally ridiculous. There's something in the law about the date the crime was committed determines whether you have to register or not. But at least he's forever going to have "convicted felon" in front of his name.
