Breaking News, looks as if judge, lawyer, and county attorney have agreed to let him go to Harmony Prep. I still believe that he may be facing some possible jail time and has to come to all court dates in Georgetown to be able to stay at Harmony Prep.

Put basketball aside. I just hope this young man can get his life back on track.

 

Yes get his life back on track and if basketball will help so be it.l

One felony was dropped to a misdemeanor I believe.

 

I believe you are right as well!

Breaking News, looks as if judge, lawyer, and county attorney have agreed to let him go to Harmony Prep. He has not been indited yet by grand jury after his is indicted case will then be sent to circut court. He still is facing some possible jail time and has to come to all court dates in Georgetown to be able to stay at Harmony Prep.

 

This move is something the legal system, family and school have been working on for over a month...

First I cannot speak to Mr. Mackey's case directly as I am personally unaware of what exactly is being proposed for resolution. However, I am a criminal defense lawyer with over 20 years of experience representing persons who find themselves in this predicament. There are a number of resolutions available with agreement by the prosecutor and court. He could be eligible for drug court which is available in Scott County if certain amendments to the charge are made. For instance, a simple possession charge versus trafficking. Drug Court's emphasis is on rehabilitation not incarceration. If successful in drug court, diversion of the charges would result in a dismissal and not a conviction. Many times, a condition of diversion is going to school to attempt to better yourself versus going to jail with the deadend that that brings. This is available to individuals who have no prior felony charges etc. I know that some may say that this would made available to Mackey because of his athletic prowess but that is not correct. I represent many young individuals who are not involved in athletics that the same offer is made. Obviously, if he does not satisfy all conditions of the drug court (which will not be a walk in the park) the charges are re-instated and prosecution would follow.

Unless his bond conditions specifically prohibit him from living in a particular place, he can live where he chooses if he lives by all other conditions.

 

I think this may be exactly correct! Some sort of drug diverson program, lets just hope this young man can get his life back together, he has so much potential!

I have heard this as well, have to admit gametime, you have to be close to the situation to know what you know, not complaining, just simply sorry for declaring your earlier comments were untrue!

I'm not, but I know the right people who are.

 

No worries...

Only issue with the article is that Mackey was never enrolled down in Georgia, that is incorrect information.

Not sure who filed motion...but looks as if everyone wasn't in agreement of move, is this ever going to come to an end?

Looks like County Attorney was the one that wasn't included in this little move....lets just say he's not happy, he has sent out a couple of summons, next court date to determine if bond will be revoked is Tuesday. I am sure Mr. Mackey will have to be present as well!
