I had court yesterday for a criminal law matter to be sentenced for a goods in custody charge which I pleaded guilty to, but the judge adjourned it for 2 weeks. Why would he do that?
 

Do I need a Lawyer

Hi Hudson,

I assume you didn't ask for the matter to be adjourned? Which Court were you in?

Regards,

Nick

Any number of reasons.

Did you self-rep?

Use that time to get yourself references and into any programs that might assist on sentence. Engage with Community Corrections if that is required.
